Abstract
Skin is the most fundamental organ in the human body because it protects the body from the outside environment. There are several elements that can alter skin functioning and create a variety of disorders ranging from hyperpigmentation to skin cancer. A wide range of marine compounds, including both forms of micro- and macroalgae and fishing byproducts, are currently available in the cosmetic and cosmeceutical market. Several synthetic medications are promoted as providing skin protection, but they have various adverse effects. Algae is a natural phototropic plant that can endure any condition and has a variety of skin protective properties due to the presence of bioactive substances such as mycosporine-like amino acids, carotenoids, sulfated polysaccharides, sterols, polyphenols, and vitamins. It includes photoprotective chemicals such as UV absorbers, antioxidants, matrix-metalloproteinase inhibitors, anti-aging, and immunomodulatory properties. As a result, using algae as a cosmeceutical product can help to avoid a variety of skin diseases.
