Various secondary metabolites are known to obtain from algae and are formulated in cosmetic products. Phlorotanins derived from algae Eisenia bicyclis, Ecklonia cava are proved to benefit the skin by reducing the elastase activity significantly. Mycosporine‐like amino acids (MAAs) such as scytonemin, asterina‐330, shinorine, and palythine are well‐known UV‐protective compounds, found in most of the algal and cyanobacterial species and widely used as photoaging protectant [79,122–124, 141] (Figure 4.5).
