Cyanobacteria

Product Description

Cyanobacteria Extract is a bioactive marine microalgae-derived ingredient obtained from cyanobacteria species known for high environmental adaptability and biochemical resilience.

It is designed for advanced cosmetic systems focusing on oxidative stress regulation, skin vitality support, and marine bioactive functional skincare development.

Molecular Activity Level

Rich in phycocyanin, polysaccharides, and amino acids, Cyanobacteria Extract helps modulate oxidative stress response pathways and supports free radical neutralization at the molecular level.

Cellular Response Level

It supports cellular metabolic balance and helps maintain keratinocyte functional stability under environmental stress such as UV exposure and pollution.

Skin Functional Level

It improves skin hydration balance, enhances surface smoothness, and supports overall skin vitality appearance through marine bioactive conditioning effects.

It is widely used in marine-based serums, hydration systems, antioxidant emulsions, and functional skincare formulations.
