Six Ingredients. One Purpose.

Astaxanthin is one of nature's most potent antioxidants — up to 6,000 times stronger than Vitamin C at neutralizing free radicals. Sourced from the same microalgae that gives salmon and flamingos their pink color, it accumulates in your skin where it quenches the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by UV exposure. Studies show it supports skin elasticity, moisture retention, and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and age spots over time. Think of it as your skin's internal shield against the oxidative damage the sun creates every day.

This extract comes from a tropical fern native to Central and South America, where indigenous communities have used it for generations to support skin health. Clinical studies show it helps reduce UV-induced redness and supports your skin's recovery from sun exposure by calming inflammation. It works from the inside, supporting your skin's ability to tolerate UV stress — making it the ideal complement to the sunscreen you're already wearing on the outside.

Collagen is the protein that keeps your skin firm, smooth, and youthful — and your body starts producing less of it in your mid-twenties, losing roughly 1% per year. UV exposure accelerates this breakdown. Marine collagen peptides are smaller than bovine collagen, which means they're absorbed faster and directed more efficiently to your skin. Combined with L-Proline and Vitamin C, they form a complete collagen synthesis system that helps your body rebuild what the sun and aging break down. This is what makes Albedo more than just sun care — it's active skin repair.

Your body can't build collagen without L-Proline. It's one of the essential amino acid building blocks of collagen fibers, and it plays a direct role in stabilizing the collagen triple-helix structure that gives your skin its strength and elasticity. Most sun-care supplements don't include it. Albedo does, because we're not just trying to protect your skin — we're giving your body the raw materials it needs to rebuild structural integrity. Together with Marine Collagen and Vitamin C, L-Proline completes the synthesis pathway that turns supplemented collagen into actual skin repair.

Hyaluronic acid is your skin's natural moisture reservoir. It holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water, drawing hydration deep into your skin's layers where topical products can't reach. UV exposure and aging both deplete your body's natural HA levels, leading to dryness, dullness, and accelerated fine-line formation. By supplementing orally, you're replenishing moisture from within — supporting a plump, dewy complexion and strengthening the skin barrier that protects you from environmental stress every day.

Vitamin C serves a dual role in Albedo's formula. First, it's a potent antioxidant that defends skin cells against free radical damage from UV radiation — working alongside Astaxanthin to neutralize oxidative stress. Second, and critically, it's the essential cofactor for collagen synthesis. Without Vitamin C, your body physically cannot convert Marine Collagen and L-Proline into new collagen fibers. It's the catalyst that completes the Protect + Rebuild cycle, while also supporting brighter, more even skin tone over time.
