An Evolutionary Development in Health and Beauty
The world of health and beauty is continually searching for more effective anti-aging ingredients. Most lotions, creams, and conditioners rely on combinations of oils, vitamins, and moisturizers. Because oxidation and inflammation accelerate the aging of skin and hair, antioxidants have become staples in these products. Chlorella vulgaris extract, in particular, is common for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory qualities. Yet, the effectiveness of conventional antioxidants is limited: they're often lost during product manufacturing and degrade quickly after exposure to air. Live cell algae overcome these issues by offering stability, a broader array of protective compounds, and an ongoing, sustained release of antioxidants after application—introducing a potential step-change for the industry.
- Conventional beauty products use antioxidants but face stability challenges.
- Chlorella vulgaris extract is prized for its anti-aging benefits.
- Live green algae in products may provide long-lasting, potent antioxidant effects.
Why Live Cell Algae?
Live cell algae is much more than a buzzword. Unlike standard algae extracts or powders, our proprietary process preserves the vitality and complex nutrient profile of each cell. The result is a bioactive, potent ingredient that delivers visible and tangible benefits in health and beauty applications.
Naturally Resilient
Supports natural detoxification and immune health
Rejuvenate & Restore
Promotes collagen production and skin rejuvenation
Nutrient-Rich
Provides antioxidants, amino acids, and essential fatty acids for holistic wellness
Barrier Support
Hydrates, repairs, and protects the skin barrier - ideal for clean, plant-based, and vegan formulas
Innovation: Overcoming the Light Challenge
A major hurdle to using live green algae in beauty products has always been their need for light—the cells can't survive in darkness, such as in containers. The Live Cell Algae Group has addressed this by developing a proprietary process that enables algae to survive without light by consuming other organic material. This makes it possible to keep algae alive long-term in standard health and beauty formulations. The result is a unique class of live algae—mixotrophic EnLife Algae—opening the door to innovative lotions and conditioners with active, living ingredients.
- Live algae traditionally couldn't survive in product packaging.
- Proprietary cultivation enables algae to live both with and without light (mixotrophy).
- Now possible: real live-cell algae in commercial lotions and hair products.

Product Prototypes and Laboratory Testing
Our laboratory has formulated both skin lotions and hair conditioners using common base recipes with the addition of EnLife Algae, supplied as a live cell concentrate. Patch testing and daily use by our lead scientist and others yielded positive feedback, with multiple testers describing the products as “quite satisfactory.” These prototypes were created to test product stability, antioxidant effects, and algae viability over months. In all cases, live algae cells were observed for up to four months after production, and antioxidant capacity exceeded that of leading commercial anti-aging products—even when samples were left exposed to air. Toxicology testing has also been conducted, supporting product safety for further development.
- Laboratory prototypes contain 10 million live cells per mL.
- Patch testing and personal use produced satisfying initial results.
- Live algae remained healthy in all tested samples for months.
- Prototypes outperformed commercial products in antioxidant capacity and showed excellent stability.
- Toxicology testing has been completed.
Our Intent: Partnering for a New Generation in Beauty
The Live Cell Algae Group does not plan to manufacture or directly market skin, hair, or beauty products, nor are our prototypes for consumer use. Instead, our proof-of-concept work demonstrates that EnLife Algae remain viable in these product formats and provide greater, more stable antioxidant effects compared to extracts. We’re now seeking established companies in the health and beauty sector who wish to develop, market, and sell innovative products powered by this breakthrough live green algae technology.
We do not intend to sell consumer products ourselves.
Our prototypes demonstrate the unique advantages of EnLife Algae as an ingredient.
We invite partners to commercialize this next-generation health and beauty ingredient.
Empower Your Brand with Living Science
When you choose live cell algae from The Live Cell Algae Group, you’re choosing more than an ingredient—you’re embracing a philosophy that honors the living connections in us, on us, and around us. Our team provides technical support and expertise to help you create innovative, high-efficacy products that stand out on the shelf and deliver real results.
