Scenedesmus Rubescens Extract
A freshwater green microalgae extract used as a skin-conditioning active. It is commonly positioned in formulas for antioxidant support, anti-pollution, and blue-light defense, with reported benefits related to reducing oxidative stress, redness, and visible darkening. COSMILE classifies it as a skin-conditioning ingredient, and supplier materials describe it as an active bioactive rather than a structural base ingredient.

Risks & Warnings
Generally considered low risk, but microalgae extracts can still cause individual sensitivity or allergy in rare cases. Because published cosmetic safety data are limited compared with common botanicals, use caution in highly reactive skin and perform patch testing when formulating leave-on products.
