Nannochloropsis sp. is a nutrient-rich marine microalga that combines long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, proteins, amino acids, pigments, and naturally occurring micronutrients within a single biological matrix. Particularly valued for its
Phycoerythrin is a biotechnology-derived, water-soluble red pigment obtained from red microalgae, particularly Porphyridium species. Unlike conventional colorants that primarily contribute visual appearance, phycoerythrin belongs to a class of naturally occurring
Omega-3 fatty acids are fundamental components of human biology, contributing to cellular membrane organization, lipid signaling, and the regulation of physiological responses. Among these fatty acids, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and
Carotenoids have become increasingly relevant in cosmetic science, nutraceutical development, and functional foods because of their antioxidant properties and biological activity. Among natural sources, the microalga Dunaliella salina demonstrates an
Phycocyanin is one of the most distinctive bioactive compounds derived from microalgae, primarily extracted from Spirulina and Aphanizomenon flos-aquae. While it is often recognized for its intense blue color, its
Tetraselmis chuii is a marine microalgae that stands apart due to its exceptionally high enzymatic antioxidant activity. While many natural ingredients rely on passive antioxidant molecules, Tetraselmis delivers active enzymatic
Chlorella is a single-celled green microalga widely recognized for its role in detoxification and cellular support. Unlike spirulina, which is primarily associated with nutrition, chlorella is valued for its ability
Spirulina, scientifically known as Arthrospira platensis, is one of the most widely used microalgae in nutraceutical, food, and cosmetic applications. Unlike niche bioactives, spirulina combines accessibility with a strong nutritional
Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) is a freshwater microalga that has emerged as a highly differentiated bioactive ingredient in modern nutraceutical and wellness formulations. While many microalgae focus on general nutrition or
Astaxanthin is one of the most powerful natural antioxidants used in modern formulations. It is derived from the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis, which produces this compound to survive harsh environmental conditions.
The skin surface behaves like a living ecosystem rather than a static barrier. It hosts millions of microorganisms that form a dynamic microbiome, and this community influences immunity, hydration, and
