Where natural actives meet advanced cosmetic innovation​

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.
