Ecotoxicity test on marine microalgae Dinoflagellate Symbiodiniaceae
Description
An eco-responsible marine ecotoxicity test to assess the impact of cosmetic products and ingredients on the coral reef ecosystem based on an in vitro method using cultures of a Symbiodiniaceae (belonging to the Dinoflagellate phylum), a symbiotic microalga of Cnidarians and which is found in coastal marine ecosystems and particularly in coral reef ecosystems.
This test makes it possible to optimize formulations and develop finished products that are more respectful of the marine environment in particular or eliminate the use of certain controversial ingredients. It also provides scientific data to support environmental claims.
