Skin health:

Lutein is an important ingredient for maintaining healthy skin. As an antioxidant, lutein can reduce the oxidative stress of skin cells; and lutein can filter high-energy blue light in visible light, helping to reduce cell damage caused by blue light exposure. Ultraviolet rays can only reach the surface layer of the skin, while blue light can penetrate the skin. After blue light is absorbed by the skin, free radicals are generated, which attack skin cells and tissues and cause damage. Lutein can help the skin maintain a youthful state, help increase skin moisture, and help increase skin elasticity.
