The growing role of microalgae in cosmetics

Special Chemicals has developed biotechnological actives derived from microalgae through its advanced closed photobioreactor technology. This system is able to create a highly controlled environment for microalgae cultivation, ensuring consistent quality and purity of extracts while minimizing ecological harm

The integration of microalgae into the cosmetics industry has acquired significant attention in these past years due to their impressive nutritional, antioxidant, and regenerative properties. These microorganisms have proven themselves to be indispensable in skin and hair care formulations, offering a wide range of benefits that align with modern consumer demands for natural and effective ingredients.

From enhancing the skin's barrier function to promoting cellular regeneration, microalgae can provide a rich source of bioactive compounds that meet the needs of different cosmetic applications.

However, as concerns about environmental impact and resource exhaustion continue to rise, the cosmetics industry is increasingly turning its focus toward more sustainable and efficient production methods. SCH AlgaeTech™, the latest range of biotechnological actives derived from microalgae developed by Special Chemicals, exemplifies this shift through its advanced closed photobioreactor technology.
