Answer
Ingredient Availability Update
Thank you for your inquiry regarding the availability of Ethylhexyl Triazone and Astaxanthin.
Ethylhexyl Triazone (Octyltriazone, EHT): This ingredient is currently awaiting FDA approval. We sincerely apologize that we cannot provide a specific timeline for its availability at this moment.
Astaxanthin: Our team is still evaluating the test results for Astaxanthin. The primary challenge identified is its very intense color, which significantly affects the color of formulations. We are continuing to assess its performance and working towards a solution. We offer several forms of Astaxanthin, including an oil-soluble extract, a water-dispersed powder, and a stabilized liquid form which is clear but provides a bright red color in formulations.
We appreciate your patience and continued interest in our ingredients.
