COLORLESS CAROTENOIDS are natural, colorless carotenoids phytoene and phytofluene that exhibit anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, UV absorbance properties, as well as skin whitening and brightening. COLORLESS CAROTENOIDS also protect from degradation and boost the activity of other active ingredients.
