The applications of microalgae in cosmetic products have recently received more attention in the treatment of skin problems, such as aging, tanning and pigment disorders. There are also potential uses in the areas of anti-aging, skin-whitening, and pigmentation reduction products. While algae species have already been used in some cosmetic formulations, such as moisturizing and thickening agents, algae remain largely untapped as an asset in this industry due to an apparent lack of utility as a primary active ingredient. This review article focuses on integrating studies on algae pertinent to skin health and beauty, with the purpose of identifying serviceable algae functions in practical cosmetic uses.
微藻在化妆品产品中的应用在皮肤问题的治疗方面最近受到了更多的关注，如衰老、晒黑和色素紊乱。在抗衰老、皮肤美白和色素减退产品领域也有潜在的用途。虽然藻类物种已经在一些化妆品配方中得到了应用，如保湿和增稠剂，但由于藻类作为主要活性成分的明显缺乏实用性，藻类在这个行业中仍然很大程度上未被开发利用。本文综述了与皮肤健康和美容相关的藻类研究，旨在确定藻类在实际化妆品用途中的可用功能。
