Kose Professional ASTALUXE was born from a simple observation in Japan: modern life is tough on skin. Stress, blue light, and environmental factors create a constant challenge. Kose's research labs, backed by over 50 years of skincare science, developed this emulsion to be a daily shield. The core is Astaxanthin AX, a potent antioxidant derived from Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae, chosen for its 6,000x stronger free radical fighting power than Vitamin C. Every batch is produced in a Japanese GMP-certified facility, ensuring pharmaceutical-grade purity. It's not just lab-tested; it's proven in daily life, consistently ranking as a top-selling anti-aging emulsion in Japan for its reliable, non-irritating performance that fits seamlessly into any routine.

The Kose Professional ASTALUXE Emulsion AX is formulated with a sophisticated blend of ingredients designed to deliver anti-aging benefits through hydration, antioxidant protection, and skin barrier support. Its key active ingredient is astaxanthin, a potent carotenoid antioxidant derived from microalgae, which is included to neutralize free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and combat signs of aging such as fine lines and dullness. The emulsion also contains glycerin and hyaluronic acid, which serve as humectants to attract and retain moisture in the skin, ensuring deep hydration and a plump, supple appearance. Additionally, it incorporates ceramides and cholesterol, lipids naturally found in the skin barrier, to reinforce the skin's protective layer, improve elasticity, and prevent moisture loss. Other components like squalane, derived from olives, provide emollient properties to soften and smooth the skin, while botanical extracts such as rosemary leaf extract offer soothing and anti-inflammatory benefits. This combination aims to promote a more youthful, radiant complexion by addressing multiple aging concerns, from dehydration to environmental damage, making it suitable for mature or stressed skin types seeking comprehensive care.
