3.For internal use at least 150 carotenoids of cold-pressed unrefined oil.

High quality oil with high content of carotenoids has hazel color. The more carotenoids are in the oil the darker color it has.

At 150 -180 it is dark red color and at 300 it is dark brown color.

All oils, having light magenta or orange color, are not effective and will not help you to solve your problems.

Buy only high quality oil. Pay attention to quantity of carotenoids and color. If 180 carotenoids are indicated and not very dark liquid in the bottle it is a deceit.

Pay attention to the color of this oil. This is the oil containing 300 carotenoids. Here there are 150 carotenoids. Don’t let be cheated.

Highly concentrated product is not recommended to apply on the skin in a pure form because of large percentage of carotenein its composition can weaken the protective barrier of the skin and even cause allergies (at high skin sensitivity).
