Cutting-edge microalgae biotechnology to transform the cosmetics, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical industries.
At ALIS, we believe that living science, based on microalgae biotechnology, is one of the most powerful tools we have to address global challenges in water, climate, and health.
Therefore, in addition to implementing industrial solutions, we actively invest in applied research, biomanufacturing, and technological development , collaborating with universities, research centers, and international partners.
Our R&D&I model combines environmental impact, industrial scalability, and the generation of economic value for industries and communities.
ALIS Microalgae Research and Development Center
The ALIS R&D Center is the biotechnology hub where we design, cultivate, analyze, and scale cutting-edge microalgae-based solutions.
This is where we connect science, sustainability, and industry to generate applicable technologies that solve the major environmental challenges of our time.
Located in Monterrey, Nuevo León, this center is the first of its kind in the region focused on the comprehensive development of microalgae for industrial applications in water treatment, carbon capture, and the production of functional bioingredients.
Cosmeceuticals with Microalgae
Cosmeceuticals are an advanced category of skin care products that combine two worlds:
Cosmetics: products that beautify and improve the appearance of the skin.
Pharmaceutical: active ingredients with clinically proven effects on skin health.
Unlike a conventional cream, a cosmeceutical product not only moisturizes or perfumes, but also acts at the cellular level to prevent aging, protect the skin, stimulate regeneration, and even modulate inflammation.
Nutraceuticals with Microalgae
Nutraceuticals is the meeting point between nutrition and pharmaceutical science.
It refers to foods or ingredients of natural origin that, in addition to nourishing, offer proven health benefits.
These ingredients go beyond basic calories or nutrients: they prevent disease, improve specific biological functions, and support overall well-being.
These include high-quality proteins, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Functional health
(Pharma)
The pharmaceutical industry focuses on discovering, developing, and producing medicines that prevent, control, or cure diseases.
Microalgae are natural biofactories that produce complex molecules such as proteins, pigments, polysaccharides, and lipids with anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, neuroprotective, and other properties.
Because of this capacity, they are positioning themselves as sustainable and efficient sources for modern pharmacology.
Functional extracts of ALIS microalgae
Porphy-CE™
Porphyridium cruentum functional extract
Cosmetic industry: This unique extract contains a high concentration of:
-
β-phycoerythrin (BPE) : antioxidant pigment with action against free radicals.
-
Sulfated exopolysaccharides (EPS): act as intensive moisturizers and dermal regenerators.
Properties: Inhibits the enzyme hyaluronidase, which is key to collagen breakdown, by 60% (at low concentrations). Reduces the formation of wrinkles on the skin.
Improves skin hydration, elasticity, and radiance. It has been proven effective as an anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and skin barrier repairing active ingredient.
Ideal for: creams, serums, sunscreens, anti-wrinkle formulas and post-sun care.
