Algatech has announced it has signed a supply and long-term collaboration agreement with Fujifilm in Japan, for its AstaPure natural astaxanthin ingredients.
Fujifilm recently took over Algatech’s major distributor in Japan and will promote astaxanthin raw materials. The company has already been using Algatech’s natural astaxanthin as the main active ingredient for its nutrition supplement and cosmetics product line named Astalift.
“Astalift is one of the most innovative and successful cosmetics brands in Japan,” said Yutaka Yamaguchi, head of the Life Science Products Division for Fujifilm. “This is due to state-of-the-art collagen technology and nanotechnology cultivated for our photo film products, coupled with the high antioxidant astaxanthin from Algatech. The Astalift line has built an impressive reputation as an anti-ageing cosmetics brand.”
