Algae as a natural resource of skin protective compounds
We present findings from our study on macroalgae (e.g., green Ulva lactuca, brown H. scoparia) and microalgae (e.g., blue Spirulina sp. , green Chlorella sp.), focusing on pigment content, antioxidant and antityrosinase activity, as well as photostability, and photoprotective effects influenced by seasonal changes. Two SPE-derived fractions—methanolic (F3) and dichloromethane (F4)—from lyophilized samples were analyzed with HPLC. Identified were key pigments: lutein, chlorophyll b, and canthaxanthin in green algae
