Sustainably cultivated in closed photobioreactors and supplied as a stable powder, it provides antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and detoxifying properties for nutraceuticals, functional foods, cosmetics, and animal nutrition
B-Phycoerythrin (B-PE) is a natural phycobiliprotein extracted from the marine microalga Porphyridium sp. It provides a vivid purple-pink color, strong antioxidant capacity, and immunomodulatory benefits. Available in purity grades (E16, E18, E25), it serves as both a functional colorant and bioactive ingredient in cosmetics, nutraceuticals, and biotechnology applications
C-Phycocyanin pigment comes from the microalga Spirulina and delivers a vivid blue color with strong antioxidant activity. Producers offer it as a stable freeze-dried powder in purity grades E16, E18, and E25. C-Phycocyanin adds natural color and bioactivity to food, cosmetics, and nutraceuticals. In formulations, it enhances antioxidant defense while creating vibrant blue shades. Its fluorescent properties also make it valuable for biotechnology and diagnostic research. This balance of function, stability, and natural origin makes C-Phycocyanin a versatile high-performance ingredient.
Nannochloropsis microalga provides high-quality Omega-3 fatty acids, especially EPA (2–5%). It also delivers proteins, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, and xanthin antioxidants. Its lipids combine with phospholipids and glycolipids to improve bioavailability. This natural composition makes Nannochloropsis a valuable ingredient for nutraceuticals, functional foods, cosmetics, and animal nutrition. With strong antioxidant support and bioactive nutrients, it offers both health and formulation benefits. Sustainable cultivation ensures quality and consistency for advanced product development.
Dunaliella salina powder is a natural, bioavailable source of β-carotene (1–2%) and other carotenoids such as lutein, zeaxanthin, and cryptoxanthin. Cultivated in closed photobioreactors and spray-dried, it offers strong antioxidant activity with proven stability in formulations. Suitable for food, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and animal applications
Chlorella vulgaris is a nutrient-dense microalga rich in chlorophyll, carotenoids, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids. With strong detoxifying and revitalizing activity, it supports skin vitality, antioxidant defense, and cellular renewal
AFA is a freshwater microalga with high nutritional density, containing complete proteins, bioavailable B12, essential minerals, chlorophyll, β-carotene, phycocyanin, and phenylethylamine (PEA). It supports cellular regeneration, strengthens antioxidant defenses, boosts detoxification, and enhances skin vitality, making it valuable in anti-aging, protective, and energizing formulations.
Spirulina platensis is a cyanobacteria biomass rich in proteins (60–70%), phycocyanin, chlorophyll, carotenoids, and essential fatty acids. Used as a natural blue-green pigment with documented antioxidant and anti-inflammatory bioactivity, it is positioned in cosmetics as a functional active rather than a decorative colorant. Optimal stability is at pH 6–7 under cold processing (<40 °C). It aligns strongly with clean-label, vegan, and sustainable trends
Astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis is a highly potent, esterified carotenoid antioxidant—20–50× stronger than synthetic forms—offering exceptional stability, bioavailability, and broad health benefits. Clinically proven to protect cardiovascular, ocular, muscular, and skin health, it reduces oxidative stress, inflammation, and UV-induced damage while supporting endurance, cognitive function, and metabolic balance. Produced sustainably in closed systems, it is vegan, contaminant-free, and suitable for diverse applications from nutraceuticals to advanced cosmetics.
AlgaeTech™ Porphyridium active comes from the red microalga Porphyridium cruentum. It delivers a natural polysaccharide shield that protects cells and improves hydration.
