Safety score · 0–100

Moderate

Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

A Bacillus ferment of Klamath-Lake blue-green algae (Aphanizomenon flos-aquae) and soybean. The species can produce cyanotoxins in nature, so supplier toxin screening matters more than the ferment chemistry itself.

Skin benefits

  • Cyanobacteria-derived peptides and amino acids
  • Soy peptide skin conditioning
  • Antioxidant phycobiliproteins

Known concerns

  • Aphanizomenon flos-aquae can produce neurotoxins (anatoxin-a, saxitoxins) depending on bloom
  • Supplier purity and toxin-screening is critical
  • Soy allergen carryover possible
  • No SCCS/CIR opinion
