Summary
|
Microalgae are an exceptional source of bioactive compounds which during the recent years have found applications as active ingredients in cosmetic prod-ucts. The aim of this study was to investigate the pos-sibility of using microalgae extracts in cosmetic formu-lations. For this purpose, the sun protection factor (SPF) of Tisochrysis lutea, Nannochloropsis oculata, Isochrysis galbana, Dunaliella salina, and Chlorella minutissima extracts were evaluated in vitro. Addition-ally, the effect of Nannocloropsis oculata (NO) extract on skin barrier and hydration was also assessed on healthy volunteers. The results suggested that the maximum SPF (~30) was achieved by Tisochrysis lutea and Chlorella minutissima extracts. Medium SPF (~20-25) was cal-culated for Isochrysis galbana and Dunaliella salina ex-tracts, while Nannochloropsis oculata extract did not exceed SPF 12,5. The in vivo study showed that the incorporation of Nannochloropsis oculata extract in a cream did not contribute to the improvement of the disturbed skin barrier, however it caused a significant increase of skin hydration at least one hour after its application. In conclusion, these findings suggest the ability of NO extract to affect some basic features of skin proper-ties, offering new insights into the beneficial role of bioactive microalgae compounds in cosmetic formula-tions. |
