Haematococcus Pluvialis Astaxanthin Oil & Powder Extract 1%-10%, Natural Food & Cosmetic Grade
Astaxanthin Oil & Powder Extract — Haematococcus pluvialis, 1%-10%
This is a single-ingredient astaxanthin extract line from the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis, offered in three formats — astaxanthin powder at 1%, 2%, 5%, and 10%; astaxanthin oil at 5% and 10%; and a cold-water-soluble microcapsule powder at 1%-10%. Both food grade and cosmetic grade are available from the same lots, and every batch is HPLC-verified before it leaves the factory. The deep red color comes entirely from the alga’s own naturally occurring astaxanthin.

Product Highlights
Three Formats, Full Strength Range
Powder at 1%/2%/5%/10%, oil at 5%/10%, and cold-water-soluble microcapsules at 1%-10%. Whatever delivery system your formula needs, the strength is standardized and verified.
Verified, Not Approximate
Every batch — powder, oil, or CWS — is assayed by HPLC for the declared astaxanthin content. The measured result is printed on the batch COA that ships with your order.
Naturally Sourced from Microalgae
Astaxanthin cultivated from Haematococcus pluvialis — the red pigment is native to the alga itself. A traceable chain from cultivation to finished extract, documented per lot.
Food + Cosmetic Grade
The same lot meets food-grade and cosmetic-grade requirements, so one raw material serves food coloring, supplement, and personal-care lines — fewer SKUs, cleaner sourcing.

Formulation Features
Deep Red Natural Pigment
The red color comes from astaxanthin naturally present in Haematococcus pluvialis — no synthetic colorant added. Powder, oil, and CWS each carry the same naturally sourced pigment.
Lipid-Compatible Oil Format
The 5% and 10% oleoresin blends into oil-phase systems — softgel fill, emulsions, cosmetic creams, and serums — with no re-dispersion step required.
Cold-Water-Soluble Microcapsules
Microencapsulated CWS powder disperses in cold water, opening up beverages, instant drinks, and water-based food systems that conventional lipid-only astaxanthin cannot serve.
Two Grades, One Lot
Food grade and cosmetic grade are produced from the same quality system, so one raw material can feed food coloring, supplement, and personal-care lines without duplicate sourcing.
Applications
Beverages & Instant Drink Mixes
Functional beverages, powdered drinks, and instant formulas. The CWS microcapsule powder disperses in cold water without oil-in-water emulsification equipment.
Softgels, Tablets & Supplements
Astaxanthin oil for softgel fill; powder for tablets and capsules. Food grade with documented COA supports reproducible dietary supplement manufacturing.
Cosmetics & Skincare Formulations
Cosmetic-grade oil and powder for creams, serums, and color cosmetics as a natural pigment base. One lot serves both food and personal-care lines.
Natural Red Food Coloring
Food-grade powder and oil for natural red coloring in confectionery, dairy, bakery, and processed foods — a clean-label, microalgae-sourced colorant.
Clean-Label Nutraceutical Premixes
Nutraceutical premixes and functional food blends. Non-GMO, food grade, naturally sourced — one transparent ingredient line for clean labeling.
