Haematococcus pluvialis as a cosmetic Ingredient
A technical white paper that outlines the process for obtaining natural astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis, together with in vitro data supporting its efficacy in photoprotection and skin repair.
The document also examines the Skin Diver© technology, developed by Neoalgae to optimize the delivery of lipophilic extracts in advanced cosmetic formulations.
This white paper analyzes the potential of phycocyanin, a pigment-protein obtained from Limnospira platensis (Spirulina), as a bioactive ingredient for dermocosmetic applications. The study evaluates its stability, biocompatibility, and anti-inflammatory activity when incorporated into a shea butter lipid matrix, developed without nanoencapsulation.
The results obtained show high cell viability and a significant reduction in pro-inflammatory markers such as IL-6 and IL-8 in THP-1 cell models, confirming the potential of phycocyanin as a functional active ingredient for formulations aimed at the care of sensitive skin, skin stress, and inflammatory processes.
It also addresses aspects related to the ingredient’s stability, the functional threshold of biological activity, and the technical and regulatory advantages of nanoparticle-free formulations. The developed approach allows for improved integration of bioactive compounds of microalgal origin into cosmetic matrices, maintaining functionality and simplifying formulation and industrial scale-up processes.
It provides a technical overview of the use of microalgae-derived ingredients in advanced dermocosmetics, with special attention to criteria of efficacy, stability and sustainability in the development of new cosmetic actives.
