What is beta-carotene?

Beta-carotene has an antioxidant effect and helps to protect the body from premature ageing. When digested, it is converted into retinol (the active form of vitamin A), which enables the synthesis of melanin, the source of our skin's tanning pigmentation.

In which foods is beta-carotene found?

Foods with the highest beta-carotene content are carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, apricots, melons, watermelons, tomatoes, mangoes, but also vegetables and salads such as kale, spinach, chervil and lamb's lettuce.

ALOHA Prepare, your dietary supplement with beta-carotene for a dream tan

To facilitate its absorption by the body, beta-carotene is accompanied by lipids such as sunflower or seeds. This is why Aloha contains beta-carotene as well as sunflower oil and coconut oil. In order for beta-carotene to be converted into vitamin A, a supply of zinc and vitamin C is required. Aloha is therefore also composed of zinc, vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, copper and vitamin A. All of this for a dreamy, naturally luminous tan.
