Marine-derived compounds present unique molecular structures and bioactive properties that can enhance hair treatment formulations. Recent research has identified specific compounds from marine algae that demonstrate binding affinities to keratin proteins ranging from 0.1-2.0 µM, while maintaining stability in aqueous solutions at pH levels between 4.5-7.0—conditions essential for commercial hair care products.

The challenge lies in preserving the biological activity of marine extracts while ensuring their compatibility with conventional formulation ingredients and manufacturing processes.

This page brings together solutions from recent research—including stabilization techniques for polar snow algae extracts, microalgae oil blending methods, and black algae integration protocols for scalp health. These and other approaches focus on developing stable, effective formulations that maintain the beneficial properties of marine-derived compounds throughout their shelf life.
