Chlorella Vulgaris Extract
Formulate Labs offers Chlorella Vulgaris Extract as a standard or concentrated hydroglycerin stock, delivering a potent complex of low-molecular-weight peptides and antioxidants. This powerful active provides core cosmetic benefits akin to those found in branded materials such as Dermochlorella DG-class and Sensityl™-class.
Marine microalgae for advanced skin support
Formulate Labs offers Chlorella Vulgaris Extract, a potent bioactive peptide and protein suspension derived from the marine microalgae Chlorella vulgaris. While sometimes referred to by common names like chlorella vulgaris powder or green microalgae in broader contexts, Formulate Labs provides the pure INCI ingredient, ensuring formulators receive the specific active without proprietary supplier blends.
Dual mechanism: Chlorella Vulgaris Extract operates through two primary pathways: first, its potent antioxidants neutralize reactive oxygen species, helping protect skin from environmental damage; second, low-molecular-weight peptides work to support the skin's structural integrity and resilience by stimulating collagen expression and inhibiting enzymes that degrade the dermal matrix [2, 3, 4].
Use levels: Typical use levels for this Standard or Concentrated hydroglycerin stock range from 1.0% to 5.0% in finished formulations. A concentration of 2.0% of the stock is frequently targeted for demonstrated cosmetic efficacy [7, 8].
Market context: Formulate Labs’ Chlorella Vulgaris Extract offers the core active found in several high-performance trade-name materials, providing versatile market positioning. It can be positioned for advanced firming and anti-aging applications, targeting concerns like vascular imperfections, dark circles, and stretch marks, similar to Dermochlorella DG-class actives. It also supports 'blue beauty' and soothing narratives for sensitive skin and inflammaging, akin to Sensityl™-class materials, and aligns with clean-beauty and biomodulating claims for cellular turnover and microbiome balance, as seen in ALGAKTIV® BioSKN / RetinART-class ingredients [17, 18, 19, 20, 21].

Chlorella Vulgaris Extract is supported by robust scientific research highlighting its multifunctionality in cosmetic applications. Studies demonstrate its ability to provide antioxidant protection, support skin structure, and modulate key signaling pathways involved in skin aging. These are independent, third-party papers we link for formulators evaluating mechanism, tolerability, and published panel data. We did not conduct this research and do not guarantee replication in your finished formula.
Chlorella extracts demonstrate significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, appearing to function by suppressing the MAPK signaling pathway. This mechanism supports its use in cosmetic formulas designed to reduce the visible signs of aging and environmental stress [5].
Topical use of the extract can visibly improve skin condition by boosting hydration and enhancing the feeling of elasticity. Its ability to support collagen synthesis contributes to a more refined and even-looking skin tone [2, 6].
This research validates the extract's role in helping protect skin cells from oxidative stress caused by environmental aggressors. This reinforces its value in daily-use protective and reparative skin care products [2].

Bulk composition at the selected Chlorella Vulgaris Extract loading. Base carrier components scale proportionally when preservative is added; extract stays at the selected loading. Updates dynamically when you change base or preservation above. Full CAS disclosure is on the SDS/TDS for the selected variant (FL-CHV-W2-MBS4-5PCT-001).
SDS + TDS are issued per selected recipe. Links swap when you change selections above. A sample COA shows the standard extract QC panel (pH, organoleptic, TAMC/TYMC). Lot-specific COAs ship with every order.
We cook the raw botanical powder into the selected carrier. The botanical carries polar phenolics, flavonoid glycosides, and related extractable fractions. Those markers support antioxidant and skin-conditioning cosmetic stories. This is not a solvent isolate or a standardized marker extract. Lot identity appears on the COA and TDS.
This is a ready-to-use cosmetic extract stock, not a finished consumer product and not a standardized marker isolate. We cook the raw botanical powder into the selected hydroglycerin or oil carrier. Aqueous lots are released on pH, organoleptic, TAMC, and TYMC (total counts only). Oil macerates are released on organoleptic only. A sample COA is on this page; the lot-specific COA ships with the order.
