Description
Algae Extract Product Overview
Algae extracts are obtained from macroalgae (seaweeds) such as kelp (Laminaria, Ascophyllum), Fucus and red algae, or from microalgae such as Spirulina and Chlorella. Depending on species and process, they contain polysaccharides such as alginates, fucoidan and carrageenan, pigments such as chlorophyll and carotenoids, minerals including iodine, and proteins.
Cosmetic formulators use algae extracts in moisturizing creams, masks and hair care. Food and nutritional product producers use seaweed and microalgae powders and extracts as ingredients, under the regulations of each market. In agriculture, seaweed extracts are widely used as biostimulants, and in feed as mineral and polysaccharide sources.
Because composition varies strongly between species, buyers should specify species, extraction type and standardization, for example iodine or polysaccharide content. Related marine-derived ingredients include Sodium Alginate and Collagen peptide.
