Recently, microalgal biotechnology has attained great acceptance among various researchers and industries for the green and sustainable production of different bioactive compounds. They provide multiple metabolites and molecules, making them an ideal candidate for cosmetic formulators and cosmeceutical companies. Nevertheless, numerous microalgae strains have never been studied for their pharmaceutical, nutritional and cosmeceutical purposes. Even less, only some have been cultivated on a large scale for bioactive compound production. Here, we have studied the cosmetic and cosmeceutical potentials of different microalgal strains for sunscreen as adjuvants and boosters in a green, carbon-neutral and sustainable platform. Other bioactive compounds were exploited, and the available products in the market and the published patents were also reviewed. From our review, it will be possible to combine the fundamental and practical aspects of microalgal biotechnology toward a greener and more sustainable future for the cosmetic/cosmeceutical areas of the photoprotection scenario.
最近，微藻生物技术在众多研究人员和行业中获得了广泛认可，可用于绿色可持续地生产各种生物活性化合物。它们能提供多种代谢物和分子，使其成为化妆品配方师和药妆公司的理想选择。然而，许多微藻菌株从未针对其制药、营养和药妆用途进行过研究。甚至更少的微藻菌株仅在大规模培养用于生物活性化合物生产方面得到过研究。在此，我们在一个绿色、碳中和且可持续的平台上，研究了不同微藻菌株作为防晒佐剂和增效剂在化妆品和药妆方面的潜力。还开发了其他生物活性化合物，并对市场上的现有产品和已发表的专利进行了综述。通过我们的综述，将有可能把微藻生物技术的基础和实际方面结合起来，为光防护领域的化妆品/药妆领域迈向更绿色、更可持续的未来。
