offensive strategies include the secretion of novel anti-microbial substances to slow-down or stop others’ growth and colonisation of desirable habitats. It is anticipated that such materials, used by the microbes to survive in their natural environment, will form the basis of the next generation of ingredients that can be harnessed to bring cosmetic benefits that include anti-ageing (ingredients with anti-inflammatory and sun protective properties) and skin and hair protection and prevention (via anti-oxidant or anti- microbial properties, e.g. natural preservatives, deodorant or anti-dandruff).
Opening the treasure chest It is only relatively recently that pioneering cosmetic suppliers have been able to appreciate the opportunities available to harness marine microbes and to invest in bringing ingredients derived from them to the cosmetic market. In part this is because, despite oceans covering over 70% of the Earth’s surface and harbouring most of the planet’s biodiversity, the microbiological component of this diversity has remained unexplored until relatively recently.4,5 However, recent efforts have begun to shed more light: among the many insights provided by last year’s Census of Marine Life was the realisation that up to 90% of marine life is microbial.6

constitute such a significant percentage of all marine biomass, most types of marine microbes remained hidden until the full breadth of microbiological tools, such as DNA sequencing and culturing techniques, could be developed to reveal their incredible biodiversity and the potential benefits this could bring to fields such as cosmetic science.
These advances have also coincided with an increase in public interest in marine biotechnology which has been
piqued by the herculean efforts of (and stunning pictures from) researchers to chart the biodiversity in the oceans in the aforementioned Census of Marine Life as well as the equally publicised exploratory voyages of charismatic entrepreneurs such as Craig Venter and Richard Branson.
Challenging times for modern cosmetic developers
This appears to be an opportune time for marine microbe ingredients to emerge as it coincides with growing interest from brand owners and retailers in the cosmetics sector in seeking out new sources of innovative, naturally derived bio-active ingredients. This itself seems to stem from changes in consumers’ demands: modern consumers’ increased environmental awareness and sensitivity has led to increasing demand for natural origin cosmetic products that not only have proven scientific benefits but also have minimal environmental impact. This consumer challenge has manifested for ingredient suppliers as a requirement to substantiate product claims, behave ethically and develop sustainable, non- petroleum based supply chains. To further add to this challenge, consumers are more likely to be sceptical of product claims and to look for increasingly affordable options putting pressure on suppliers to provide substantiated ingredients that can be economically produced from natural sources.
The beginnings of all things are small – English Proverb
One of the first indications that marine microbes could offer product developers ingredients to meet these demands came from research into pseudopterosin and its analogues, a group of anti-inflammatory ingredients composed of diterpene
