Beta carotene has been shown to have a protective effect on the skin when it is exposed to ultraviolet rays and also appears to help induce the production of the pigment that gives the skin a more durable and uniform golden colour.

Beta-carotene is a natural precursor of one of the active forms of vitamin A, retinol, but unlike retinol, it does not produce toxicity even if it high amounts are consumed continuously. The body only converts beta-carotene to retinol as needed, and unconverted beta-carotene is stored in the skin providing protection and a uniform cinnamon tone.

Both beta-carotene and vitamin E are potent antioxidants and have cutaneous photoprotective effects. Beta-carotene is an antioxidant that neutralizes photo-induced free radicals.

Indications: 

Taking ActiveComplex Carotene+E is an ideal skin preparation for sunbathing, to protect and nourish skin from the inside before the season in which we expose it to the sun on a daily basis. This can counteract the damage caused by photoinduced free radicals as well as giving a uniform and longer lasting tan.

The dissolution of ActiveComplex Carotene+E's active ingredients in vegetable oil provides greater absorption, and its gelatin capsule protects them from photo-oxidation.

For healthy adults on a balanced diet, 1 capsule per day after a meal is recommended. If you suffer from any illness, follow the instructions given by your healthcare professional.
