A powerhouse antioxidant booster packed with nutrient rich concentrated botanical extracts that act to support skin's barrier while creating a warm and healthy carotene glow. CO2 (Supercritical Extraction) is one of the most efficient methods of creating a substance that embodies the entire plant and its capabilities. The CO2s of organic sea buckthorn, organic pomegranate and organic rosehip, all rich in powerful bioactives, work together to repair dry skin while Frankincense CO2 soothes and revitalizes it. Customize your routine by adding two drops to your serum or moisturizer to boost its anti-aging activity.
Booster: A blend of concentrated plant extracts that are added to serum or moisturizer to enhance its bioactive properties.
CO2 (Supercritical Extraction): A method of extracting plant chemicals by using pressurized CO2 as a solvent. It is one of the most efficient extractions to create a substance that embodies the entire plant rather than just the essential oils or triglycerides (cold-pressed oils).
Carotene: In plants, these orange-coloured pigments turn light into chlorophyll and absorb and scatter UV light. In human skin, they also protect cells from UV damage and convert to retinol, an active vitamin A that keeps skin smooth and firm. In higher concentrations, the orange pigment provides a warm glow to skin tone.

Key Ingredients:
Sea Buckthorn CO2*: This CO2 extraction is from the pulp of the bright orange sea buckthorn berry and contains 34% palmitic acid and 31% palmitoleic acid, fatty acids found naturally in our skin. They function similarly to our sebum forming a protective layer that keeps moisture in. Sea Buckthorn CO2 has a high level of beta-carotene that transforms into anti-aging retinol, an active form of vitamin A.
Rosehip Seed CO2*: The seeds of the rosehip from the rose bush are packed with the two essential fatty acids omega 6 linoleic acid and omega 3 linolenic acid that are known for their soothing barrier repair and maintenance. This CO2 also contains oleic acid, beta-carotene, phytosterols, and vitamin E.
Pomegranate Seed CO2*: The seeds of the pomegranate yield a lipid that contains 70% of the rare omega 5 fatty acid called punicic acid, which acts as a strong antioxidant to repair dry skin. Pomegranate seed CO2 also boasts other firming components such as linoleic acid, oleic acid, vitamin E, phytosterols, and squalene. The combination of these bioactives help protect skin’s barrier and reduce the signs of aging. Frankincense CO2 - Wild Grown: This CO2 comes from the resin of the Boswellia tree. Like all resins, this is the repair system of the tree and has soothing, rejuvenating properties. The main constituents are the antioxidant terpenes alpha-pinene, insensol, and caryophyllene. The last two are only in the CO2 and not the essential oil and boast many rejuvenating properties.
Instructions: Add two drops of Carotene Glow Antioxidant Booster to your serum or moisturizer application in your hand, blend, and apply to face and neck.
Gives skin a nice glow, but just beware that it does have an orange tinge to it that can get on light/white clothing and masks! Not sure if there is something I am doing wrong that is causing the transfer of the pigment to my clothing/masks......
Thank you for your feedback! I recommend adding two small drops (maybe reduce the amount you are using to one) and make sure that you mix it well with a moisturizer/serum. Let it absorb a little before putting on any light colours - that should prevent the product being transferred to clothing.

Antioxidant Booster -YAY!
Wonderful, adds color to my skin and is beneficial too! Will be purchasing again!
I absolutely love the products i bought! My skin feels soft and hydrated. No makeup needed. Love the smell as well. Such a treat. Will definitely be buying again. Happy to support local/ canadian.
I love this product. It's small but mighty. I add two drops of it to my serum every night and I love the glow it gives me. It's not as harsh as a tanner so you can definitely use it in the morning as well (I just don't). My skin feels plump and healthy. I love it.
I just started using this product and so far it feels great! It gives my skin a healthy glow (especially now that it is autumn) and it makes my skin feel so soft. You only need one drop of this product, it will last a long time!
Love the booster used in combination with your Nordic serum. It gives a slight orange colour to the skin but once you put on your moisturizer you don’t notice it
Combining this with my rosehip serum oil has been a game changer for the glow. The only reason it's 4 stars, the booster actually has a bit of a orange-y tinge to it. I use it at night only for this reason as there's a noticeable change to my skin colour
I’m so happy I found you guys!
I’ve tried a few of your products and am looking forward to Reordering and trying more!
I especially love the carotene glow!
I’ve been exploring a number of products in the line and this is my third purchase from the skincare range. I have a fair complexion with redness around the cheeks and nose and wanted a product that was hydrating for my skin but also able to provide warmth for the summer. I was quite surprised by the colour out of the bottle and even more surprised that the dropper was so small, but good things come in small packages on this formulation. Right out of the gate I noticed my skin was given a wash of warmth that was natural, and since I started using the product, I have barely had to apply any foundation, which is the goal with all skincare, right? I’m very impressed and loving the results. I’ve tried other serums and oils but this one is fantastic!
I highly recommend and can’t wait to explore more items in the range of products.
I love using the Carotene Glow Antioxidant Booster. Back in February, someone asked me where I had been. They thought I had been on vacation because my face looked so bright and healthy.
This product gives my skin such a pretty bronzed glow. I've used it for two weeks now and the overall tone and texture of my skin has improved. Definitely recommend.
