Cosmetic compositions comprising microalgal components

This invention describes a cosmetic product for skin that uses a special type of microalgae. Specifically, it uses biomass from Chlorella protothecoides algae that has been grown in a way that makes it not green, low in a specific fatty acid (DHA), and rich in oil and other beneficial plant compounds like tocopherols. This algal material is then mixed with other cosmetic ingredients to create a topical cream or lotion.

Why it matters: Advancements in microalgae cultivation technology since 2015 have made achieving the specific heterotrophic growth conditions and biomass composition claimed more efficient. This could lower the barrier to producing these specialized cosmetic ingredients.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedAlgae cultivation, chemical extraction, cosmetic formulation.
