“…Some algae’s phenols, terpenoids, amino acids, sugars, and amines, used as skin-whitening agents, are tyrosinase inhibitors [ 192 , 267 ]. Red algae, the richest sources of mycosporine-like amino acids, are a helpful source of whitening bioactive molecules for the cosmeceutical industry [ 268 ].…”

Seaweeds or algae are marine autotrophic organisms. They produce nutrients (e.g., proteins, carbohydrates, etc.) essential for the survival of living organisms as they participate in biochemical processes and non-nutritive molecules (such as dietary fibers and secondary metabolites), which can improve their physiological functions. Seaweed polysaccharides, fatty acids, peptides, terpenoids, pigments, and polyphenols have biological properties that can be used to develop food supplements and nutricosmetic products as they can act as antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory compounds. This review examines the (primary and secondary) metabolites produced by algae, the most recent evidence of their effect on human health conditions, with particular attention to what concerns the skin and hair’s well-being. It also evaluates the industrial potential of recovering these metabolites from biomass produced by algae used to clean wastewater. The results demonstrate that algae can be considered a natural source of bioactive molecules for well-being formulations. The primary and secondary metabolites’ upcycling can be an exciting opportunity to safeguard the planet (promoting a circular economy) and, at the same time, obtain low-cost bioactive molecules for the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries from low-cost, raw, and renewable materials. Today’s lack of methodologies for recovering bioactive molecules in large-scale processes limits practical realization.

“…Oleh karena itu, sangat diperlukan sumber antioksidan yang berasal dari bahan alami salah satunya dari rumput laut. Rumput laut merupakan sumber bahan baku yang kaya akan komponen bioaktif yang mengandung antioksidan, aman untuk digunakan (Couteau & Coiffard, 2016), tidak menyebabkan alergi, tidak toksik dan berasal dari bahan alami (Kasanah et al, 2022). Beberapa jenis rumput laut yang dikenal memiliki aktivitas antioksidan cukup tinggi dan aman digunakan untuk kosmetik di antaranya Eucheuma cottonii dan Ulva lactuca.…”

Kulit membutuhkan antioksidan untuk menangkal radikal bebas yang di antaranya berasal dari polusi udara dan paparan sinar ultraviolet. Rumput laut Eucheuma cottonii dan Ulva lactuca dikenal memiliki kandungan antioksidan yang cukup tinggi. Produk perawatan kulit salah satunya serum dapat dijadikan alternatif dalam mengurangi permasalahan pada kulit melalui penambahan bahan aktif dari rumput laut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan formulasi terbaik dan pengaruh penambahan E. cottonii dan U. lactuca terhadap karakteristik produk serum wajah melalui parameter uji hedonik, pH, kelembapan, homogenitas, viskositas, dan aktivitas antioksidan. Perlakuan dalam penelitian dibagi menjadi empat, yaitu serum tanpa penambahan filtrat rumput laut (F0), serum dengan penambahan filtrat E. cottonii (F1), serum dengan penambahan filtrat U. lactuca (F2), dan serum kombinasi filtrat E. cottonii dan U. lactuca (F3). Analisis data menggunakan uji Kruskal Wallis dan one way ANOVA. Penambahan filtrat E. cottonii dan U. lactuca dapat memengaruhi nilai antioksidan, hedonik, homogenitas, pH, viskositas, dan kelembapan pada produk serum. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa formula serum terbaik diperoleh pada perlakuan penambahan filtrat E. cottonii (F1) dengan aktivitas antioksidan (IC50) sebesar 299,29 µg/mL, kelembapan 58,42%, nilai pH 6,25, viskositas 276,71 cP dan paling disukai oleh panelis berdasarkan parameter ketampakan, warna, aroma, tekstur, dan homogenitas.

“…Marine macroalgae, which have been exposed to ultraviolet-A (UVA, 315–400 nm) and ultraviolet-B (UVB, 280–315 nm) radiation since the dawn of life on Earth, have developed various defense systems such as avoidance, DNA repair, and cellular protection against UVR through the production of carotenoids and mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) [ 4 ]. MAAs will have an unassailable position in the sunscreen market in the future, due to their numerous biological activities, which include anti-UV, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-aging properties, as well as their role in promoting cell proliferation, wound healing, and the protection of DNA from damage [ 5 ]. In addition to algae, bacteria, fungi, and plankton have also evolved the ability to synthesize, accumulate, and metabolize MAAs [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ] ( Figure 1 ).…”

Recent Advances and Future Prospects of Mycosporine-like Amino Acids

Mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) are a class of water-soluble active substances produced by various aquatic organisms. However, due to the limitations of low accumulation of MAAs in organisms, the cumbersome extraction process, difficult identification, and high cost, MAAs have not yet been widely used in human life. Recently, there has been an emergence of heterologous synthesis for MAAs, making increasing yield the key to the quantification and application of MAAs. This review summarizes the latest research progress of MAAs, including: (1) introducing the biodistribution of MAAs and the content differences among different species to provide a reference for the selection of research subjects; (2) elaborating the species and molecular information of MAAs; (3) dissecting the synthesis mechanism and sorting out the synthesis pathways of various MAAs; (4) summarizing the methods of extraction and identification, summarizing the advantages and disadvantages, and providing a reference for the optimization of extraction protocols; (5) examining the heterologous synthesis method; and (6) summarizing the physiological functions of MAAs. This paper comprehensively updates the latest research status of MAAs and the various problems that need to be addressed, especially emphasizing the potential advantages of heterologous synthesis in the future production of MAAs.
