This vitamin is crucial for photosynthesis in plants, acting as an electron transporter in photosystem I. Its production at the biotechnological level involves extraction and purification from natural plant sources, ensuring its purity and efficacy for cosmetic and medicinal use
Benefits
Vitamin K1 is known for its beneficial properties for the skin, particularly in reducing dark circles under the eyes. It helps reduce dark and blue pigmentation under the eyes by improving blood clotting and strengthening capillary walls. This decreases the accumulation of blood in the area, reducing the appearance of dark circles. In addition, its antioxidant capacity helps to rejuvenate the skin, improving the overall texture and tone around the eyes
