About

A microalgal lysate from Eutreptiella gymnastica used in cosmetics for its bioactive lipid content; as a novel cultured ingredient, limited independent safety data is available.

Eutreptiella Gymnastica Lysate is derived from a marine microalga. Euglenoid microalgae produce unique compounds including paramylon (beta-1,3-glucan), carotenoids, and essential fatty acids. The lysate form releases these intracellular compounds. Not specifically restricted in EU Regulation 1223/2009 Annex II or III. Cultured production in controlled bioreactors ensures consistency and absence of marine toxins. However, as a novel cosmetic ingredient source, comprehensive safety data including sensitisation potential and local tolerance are needed. The euglenoid algae group is less studied in cosmetics than chlorophyte algae.
