The present disclosure relates to the field of commercial scale production and processing of biosynthetic cannabinoids produced by growing genetically modified microalgae in a photo-bioreactor to a produce biosynthetic cannabinoids, separating a liquid nutrient medium from the genetically modified microalgae, and extracting the biosynthetic cannabinoids to produce an extracted biosynthetic cannabinoid, then distilling the extracted biosynthetic cannabinoid to produce the biosynthetic cannabinoid distillate. Biosynthetic cannabinoid distillates may be used foodstuffs, beverages, nanoemulsions, spray-dried water-soluble powders, cosmetics, or topicals.

The present invention relates to a shear-thinning or pseudoplastic cosmetic composition. Zeta potentials may be balanced such that a first ratio of the first zeta potential to the second zeta potential may be approximately 1:2. A second ratio of the first zeta potential to the third zeta potential may be approximately 1:2. And, a third ratio of the second zeta potential to the third zeta potential may be approximately 1:1. Balancing zeta potentials may ensure the shear-thinning cosmetic composition can dispense in its original viscous form and as a fine mist through a single device.
