June 1981 in “Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology” This study introduces vegan exosome-like biomimetic vesicles (EBVs) derived from microalgae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii as a promising alternative for skincare and hair follicle protection. The EBVs mimic mammalian exosomes in structure and function, containing 109 membrane lipids and 1369 proteins, and effectively induce transcriptional responses in human fibroblasts. They demonstrate superior dermal delivery and wound healing capabilities compared to standard liposomes. In vitro and ex vivo tests show EBVs protect against UV-A stress and support hair follicle health by upregulating anagen markers like SOX9. A 56-day placebo-controlled clinical study with EBVs showed significant improvements in skin wrinkle depth, elasticity, and radiance, highlighting their potential as a scalable, high-performance anti-aging cosmetic solution.
