Carotenoids are commonly known to be found in vegetables such as carrots and tomatoes. They are used by plants to protect against aggressors. The human body is unable to produce carotenoids, but they can be obtained through diet.

- Inhibition of constitutive melanin synthesis (reduces baseline pigment production)
- fight free radicals to protect our skin from the aging effects of UV light and pollution
These carotenoids are truly colourless: they do not bleach nor stain the skin
