Antioxidant Protection You Can See

Carotene Glow's brilliant golden colour comes from concentrated carotenoid-rich botanical extracts—not artificial colour or shimmer. These powerful plant antioxidants help defend skin against oxidative stress while nutrient-rich oils replenish essential fatty acids, leaving dry and mature skin softer, more resilient and naturally radiant.

  • Sea Buckthorn Extract

    Exceptionally rich in naturally occurring carotenoids, including beta-carotene, along with tocopherols and beneficial fatty acids. These antioxidant compounds help protect skin from oxidative stress while supporting a healthy, vibrant complexion.

  • Rosehip Seed Extract

    Naturally rich in linoleic and alpha-linolenic essential fatty acids, rosehip oil helps replenish the lipids that support a healthy skin barrier. It nourishes dry and mature skin while helping improve softness, suppleness and the appearance of uneven texture.

  • Pomegranate Extract

    One of nature's richest sources of punicic acid, a rare omega-5 fatty acid known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. It helps calm environmentally stressed skin while providing concentrated lipid nourishment that supports softness, resilience and a healthy skin barrier.

  • Frankincense Extract

    Unlike distilled frankincense essential oil, CO₂ extraction captures heavier triterpenes and boswellic acids naturally present in the resin. Known for their soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, these compounds help calm stressed skin and support its natural recovery and resilience.

FAQs

Q: Will this serum break me out?
A: It’s formulated with non-comedogenic oils and antioxidants. However, patch test always if your skin is very reactive.

Q: Can I use it with actives like retinol or acids?
A: Absolutely. The antioxidant content can complement actives and help buffer oxidative stress — apply with at least 5 minutes before heavy layers.

Q: How long will it last?
A: A typical 30 ml bottle should last several weeks/months with 2–3 drops per use.

Q: Does it have a strong hue or tint?
A: Slight golden undertones may appear from carotenoids — this is normal and can contribute to your natural glow.

Q: Is it suitable for all skin types?
A: Yes, though those with extremely sensitive or reactive skin should patch test first.

Our certified products meet strict standards for natural ingredients, sustainable manufacturing and environmental responsibility.

Carotene glow

Carotene glow fades my sun spots . Easy to use. Smells fresh and healthy like carrots. Orange carrot colour. Mix 2 drops with my skin serum day and night.

Probably better for younger skin

This was OK but I didnt see a glow after using it quite a few times. I am over 50 so it is probably a lot better for younger people. I love other Cocoon products.

Great product

Have been using Carotene Glow for a couple of years. I have found my sun/age spots have faded. Smells like carrots. It does stain so be careful with white clothing and countertop’s.

Small Vial of Summer Glow

I love that a drop or two of this added to my Rosy Cheeks cream or sunscreen adds a really natural glow to my face, especially in the winter months when all hope is lost. It’s like sunshine in a bottle. My only caution is that it can be very orange if not mixed or spread properly. Otherwise, excellent!

I love this product!

I first tried Carotene Glow in 2019 and have never looked back. I love how this makes my skin look and feel and when combined with Orange Blossom Facial Cream, it continues to be my 'can't live without' skin care must-haves. As a bonus - my aesthetician always comments on the wonderful condition of my skin!

Keeps me looking young

Using this has super boosted my skin care routine. I'll admit, i'm not 100% kind to myself. This makes up for it.

This Product is Amazing

I mix with my facial serum or oils in the winter and with my moisturizer in the summer. It has made such an amazing difference in my skin. It also works amazing if you get a bit to much sun. It has helped prevent peeling. I would not be without it.

Absolutely love the radiance this gives my skin!

I absolutely love this product I'm already on my second bottle. I love the way it makes my skin look. Sometimes I even mix it with a little bit of moisturizer and don't bother with makeup on a hot summer day. I love it so much I also use it at night time with my night moisturizer. Would definitely recommend this product.
