BLUE DEFENSE
Phycocyanin is a protein that is extracted from blue-green algae, and has antioxidant properties. It is an accessory pigment to chlorophyll, it is part of the phycobiliproteins that participate in the energy transfer chain of photosynthesis, and are responsible for approximately 50% of light capture in cyanobacteria such as Spirulina
FUCOXENSE
Fucoxanthin is a type of carotenoid, it is a xanthophyll, structurally similar to Beta Carotene and vitamin A. Despite its molecular structure, Fucoxanthin does not act as a vitamin itself, but rather contributes to enhancing the metabolic rate and the loss of fat. Fucoxanthin is such a special molecule that offers a wide range of bioactivities. Results from animal studies have shown its potential value in the prevention and treatment of lifestyle-related diseases, such as obesity, diabetes or other chronic diseases.
ASTAXENSE
Astaxanthin is a carotenoid, belonging to the phytochemical series of terpenes. It is a colored fat- soluble pigment, which unlike some carotenoids, does not convert to vitamin A (retinol) in the human body. Excess vitamin A is toxic to humans, but not astaxanthin. It is a powerful antioxidant comparable to vitamin E that combats oxidative stress and is very beneficial for skin, eyesight, and cellular health. Studies in humans have confirmed the role that astaxanthin plays as an antioxidant and powerful anti-inflammatory.
OMEGA 3 CON SPIRULINA
Spirulina is a microalgae with a high protein content, which has led the WHO to consider it as the best food for the future. It has a high nutritional value because it is an important source of linoleic acid (omega 6 fatty acid), palmitic and oleic fatty acids, vitamins (A, B complex, E, biotin, folic acid, inositol), natural pigments, essential amino acids and minerals. It is very rich in iron, an essential mineral for the body.
ALL OMEGA
Tetraselmis chuii is a microalgae with a high protein content, and numerous vitamins and minerals. It has a high content of linolenic acid, an omega 3 fatty acid.
Our laboratories, located in Asturias, are led by doctors and professionals specialised in health sciences.
specialised in health sciences. They have state-of-the-art equipment to carry out the cultivation and development under the highest quality standards.
Cosmetics ingredients
SKIN ESSENCE
Phycocyanin in fatty phase shows anti-inflam m atory activity at the tw o upper concentrations tested (0.04 and 0.02%). The anti-inflammatory activity displays a dose-dependent pattern, decreasing with the coMpound concentration.
SKIN PURE
Microalgae oleoresins are the most valuable products within the field of marine microalgae biotechnology. To obtain products with absolute concentrations of metabolites of such high value as astaxanthin or fucoxanthin, it is required to have complete knowledge not only of the biology of the microalgae itself but also of the extractive processes since they have to be carried out under certain conditions. completely controlled to avoid degradation of their dermocosmetic capabilities.
SKIN DIVER
After many years of study our scientific team has developed Skin Diver Technology, a technology that has taken another step in natural care of the skin. This technology is capable of driving the main microalgae active ingredients to the deepest layers of the skin, thus achieving slow release active ingredient increasing its effectiveness. This technology owes its name unites the depths of the ocean and the deep layers of the skin.
MICROALGAE
CHLORELLA
Single-celled seaweed whose components stimulate cell regeneration and its high concentration of proteins and vitamins A, B and C make this seaweed an excellent nutrient for the skin.
DUNALIELLA SALINA
Rich in beta-carotene and vitamin F, it protects the skin against ageing by blocking free radicals, delaying skin wear and tear. Rich in minerals, it nourishes and repairs skin cells.
SPIRULINA
High in protein, vitamins A, B and E, minerals and omega fatty acids. Excellent anti-ageing. Repairs the hydric layer of the tissues, providing immediate well-being to the skin.
HAEMATOCOCCUS PLUVIALIS
This marine microalgae provides the skin with micronutrients, prevents and improves the effects of photoaging, such as blemishes, fine lines, sagging and spider veins.
PHEODACTILUM
Microalgae with a great firming and elasticity effect due to its ability to break down the fatty walls between cells, which are the cause, for example, of conditions such as cellulite.
TETRASELMIS CHUII
The microalgae Tetraselmis Chuii has a high protein, carbohydrate and mineral content according to the Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition. It belongs to the phytoplankton family. It is capable of stimulating the skin's detoxification mechanisms, slowing down skin ageing.
I+D in our ADN
Laboratorios Neoalgae has positioned itself as a biotechnological benchmark in the cultivation and development of microalgae with a strong environmental commitment. It is a pioneer in the development of microalgae applications and cultures, as well as placing innovative references on the market through its different brands and business lines. It has its operational headquarters in a modern, energy self-sufficient plant in Gijón, comprising greenhouses for the cultivation of different species of microalgae, specialised laboratories, a natural cosmetics manufacturing plant and a recently inaugurated office building that has increased the plant’s technical capacity. It also has 9 patents, 12 awards, 18 certifications and nearly 40 R&D projects, and is certified in FSSC 22,000.
