Key Benefits & Applications

This microalgae extract supports antioxidant, hydration, and barrier-comfort claims through chlorophyll-rich Chlorella minutissima suited to clean-label and anti-pollution formulators.

• Antioxidant Protection: Chlorophyll and carotenoids scavenge reactive oxygen species in daytime antioxidant serums and essences.
• Deep Hydration: Algae polysaccharides bind aqueous moisture in water-based toners and lightweight hydration gels.
• Cell Vitality & Regeneration: Microalgae peptides and amino acids support renewal-oriented claims in revitalizing skin care lines.
• Skin Barrier Repair: Polysaccharide fraction supports barrier-comfort narratives in sensitive-skin and recovery emulsions.
• Anti-Aging Defense: Helps limit oxidative matrix stress in mature-skin and urban-exposure treatment systems.
• Environmental Stress Defense: Defends against pollution-linked oxidative stress in city-dweller day-care and shield serums.

Formulation Guidelines

Introduce standardized chlorella extract in aqueous or glycerin phases; verify chlorophyll assay, shade impact, and preservation for water-rich bases.

• Recommended use level: 0.5–3% w/w in serums and creams; 0.5–2% in toners (Typical).
• Optimal formula pH: Maintain 4.5–7.0; chlorophyll stability best in mildly acidic to neutral systems (Typical).
• Processing: Add below 40°C to water or glycerin phase; protect from prolonged light exposure during manufacturing.
• Compatibility: Works with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide; avoid strong oxidizers and prolonged high-heat above 70°C.
• Caution: Natural green color intensifies with level—adjust shade or combine with compatible pigments as needed.
• Synergy: Layer Hyaluronic Acid beneath chlorella polysaccharides in hydration essences at 0.5–2% for stacked humectant delivery.
