Dunaliella salina Oil

β-Carotene oil from Dunaliella salina delivers powerful antioxidants and natural pigments. This microalgae is one of the richest natural sources of β-Carotene, supporting skin, eye, and immune health. In cosmetics, formulators use β-Carotene oil as a clean-label active that protects against oxidative stress and promotes a radiant glow. In nutrition, it acts as a pro-vitamin A source that supports vision, immunity, and overall wellness. Applications include functional foods, supplements, nutricosmetics, and skincare formulations. Its vibrant orange color makes it both a natural antioxidant and a high-value pigment for modern formulations
