We are one of the few producers of Dunaliella in the world and the first to produce it along with Spirulina and Astaxanthin within the same facility. In the year 1998, we started manufacturing Natural Mixed Carotenoids, which is derived from the alga Dunaliella salina, produced for the first time in Asia at our production plant.
The Dunaliella facility is certified HACCP, ISO 14001 and ISO 9001. Natural Mixed Carotenoids is available as powder (2.5% & 7.5%) and oil
(2.5% - 4.0%).

Dunaliella salina is a single celled, salt-water micro-algae that accumulates massive amounts of carotenoids under appropriate growth conditions.
Natural Mixed Carotenoids found in Dunaliella salina are among nature's best antioxidants, containing a variety of carotenoids including Beta Carotene, Alphacarotene and Xanthophylls like Zeaxanthin, Cryptoxanthin and Lutein. Natural Mixed Carotenoids belong to a family of naturally occurring yellow, orange and red pigments, which are found in various fruits, cruciferous, yellow and dark - green vegetables and also abundantly in algae.
Parry's Natural Mixed Carotenoids contains both 9-cis and All-trans isomers:
All-trans isomers exhibit Vitamin A activity and 9-cis provides potent antioxidant activity, unlike synthetic Beta Carotene which contains only trans isomers.
