Haematococcus

Haematococcus in Cosmeceuticals product development 

Haematococcus pluvialis is a type of freshwater microalgae commonly used in cosmeceutical product development due to its high concentration of the antioxidant astaxanthin, which has numerous benefits for skin health, as documented.


Astaxanthin has been shown to protect the skin from UV-induced damage by reducing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inhibiting the expression of inflammatory cytokines [1]. This helps prevent premature skin ageing and reduces the risk of skin cancer.


Moreover, evidence suggests that astaxanthin improves skin elasticity and decreases fine lines and wrinkles due to its ability to stimulate collagen production in the skin [2].


Additionally, astaxanthin has been shown to improve skin hydration and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation due to its ability to inhibit melanin production in the skin [3].


Haematococcus pluvialis is a valuable ingredient in cosmeceutical product development due to its high concentration of astaxanthin and numerous benefits for skin health.
