Microalgae as a raw material for cosmetics

We assess biomass as a source of pigments and other components for formulations. The starting point is the formulator's requirements for composition, form, safety and stability.

Tasks we discuss

  • Biomass or extract as a source of a formulation component
  • A natural pigment for coloring the product
  • Raw material for developing your own extract

What needs to be defined before a trial batch

These questions are part of the survey and the technical specification. If you don't have an answer yet, leave the item open and we will clarify it together.

  1. 01

    Required form: dry biomass, extract or purified substance

  2. 02

    Target component, content and analytical method

  3. 03

    Safety data required for your formulation

  4. 04

    Stability of color and component in the base, under light, heat and at different pH

  5. 05

    Microbiological parameters and storage conditions

  6. 06

    Sample mass for laboratory formulations

Important to know

  • Safety and admissibility of use are assessed for the specific material
  • Properties described in publications for other materials are not carried over to our batch without its own analyses
  • If you only need a ready-made extract, please say so: such a result requires a separate assessment
