Description
Beta-Carotene is an organic pigment belonging to the carotenoid class. In cosmetics, it is often used as a natural colorant and antioxidant. As a colorant, beta-carotene adds a yellow-orange color to cosmetics such as lipsticks, eyeshadows, blushes, etc. This pigment can also be used to create a more intense color in cosmetics. As an antioxidant, beta-carotene protects the skin from the harmful effects of free radicals, which can be caused by ultraviolet radiation, air pollution, and other factors. It can also improve skin condition and reduce moisture loss.
