Cosmetics are substances or products that are used to enhance or alter the appearance of the face, or fragrance and texture of the body. Numerous cosmetics are designed to be applied to the face, hair, skin, and body. Globally, the demand for cosmetic production and consumption is rapidly increasing, due to increase in awareness about health and personal hygiene among people. Canthaxanthin is a dye that is similar to carotenes in vegetables such as carrots. It is also found in green algae, bacteria, crustaceans, and bio-accumulates in fish such as carp, golden mullet, seabream, and trush wrasse. It is also similar to the chemical that lends carrots their distinct orange color. It occurs naturally and can also be made in a laboratory. It deposits in the skin to produce an artificial “tan.” Canthaxanthin also helps protect the human skin against the sun through antioxidant activity. It is utilized to reduce sensitivity to sunlight (photosensitivity) experienced by people who have a rare genetic disease called erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP). In such people, exposure to the Sun’s rays is likely to cause skin reactions such as rash, itching, and eczema.
Canthaxanthin is a red carotenoid that occurs (EFSA 2014) and can also be found in some fungi. The global canthaxanthin market can segmented based on source, application, and region. Based on source, the canthaxanthin market can be bifurcated into synthetic and natural. Natural canthaxanthin is obtained for green microalgae through various extraction processes. Synthetic canthaxanthin is obtained from petrochemicals and provides color pigmentation to fishes and skin coloring to chickens. Synthetic canthaxanthin is widely preferred. Based on application, the canthaxanthin market can be segregated into dietary supplements, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, and animal feed. It is widely preferred in animal feed. The animal feed segment can be further split into aquaculture, livestock, and pets.
Canthaxanthin delivers multiple benefits such as reduction of sunlight sensitivity in people suffering from erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP). Sunlight can cause skin allergies including eczema, rashes, and itching in patients. Skin reactions has increased in product sales, supporting the market growth.
