Naturally present vitamins, minerals,
and trace elements
NannOcea® provides a concentrated matrix of cosmetic-relevant bioactives, including EPA omega-3, carotenoids, chlorophylls, phenolic antioxidants, hydrating polysaccharides, proteins, and polyamines. These compounds are recognized for supporting antioxidant protection, barrier function, elasticity, and scalp and follicle
vitality.
Research on Nannochloropsis extracts and oils shows strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, helping protect keratinocytes from oxidative stress and
modulating inflammatory pathways relevant to skin sensitivity and aging.
EPA-rich lipids contribute to improved barrier integrity, elasticity, and soothing effects,
while microalgal polysaccharides deliver hydration, film-forming properties, and sensory benefits. Proteins and amino acids further support skin repair and hair fiber strength.
We actively partner with brands and research groups to design prototypes, generate stability and sensory data, and prepare science-backed dossiers for upcoming launches.
