Yemoja provides cosmetic formulators and brands a consistent supply of pure microalgae. Our external polysaccharide sulphate species serves the skin -deep sector and is in high demand by the industry for its natural anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and rejuvenating properties.
πΉππ ππππππππππ πππ ππππππ πππππππ
We have developed the industry first microalgae- sourced heme substitute for plant-based burgers that is currently undergoing pilot trials. This formulation mimics the red juices of real meat without harming cows or the planet and without the need for artificial colors additives and is 100% clean label.
πΊππππππππππ
Our state-of-the-art indoor cultivation facility is the gold standard in climate management and sustainability. In built with sophisticated precision biology engineering methods, the platform system manipulates light, temperature, and pH to yield high concentrations of desired bioactive compounds with minimal ecologic footprint and without contaminants, using minimal resources, and reduces waste.
π¨ππππ ππππππ
Yemoja was founded by a team of marine biology and biotech experts with a shared vision of leveraging novel engineering methods to provide the commercial microalgae space with a prodigious range of high-value microalgae species that can be tailored to a full spectrum of applications, including cosmeceuticals, nutraceuticals and functional foods.
