The present invention relates to a novel Chlamydomonas strain with an improved oil generation function, the strain of the present invention having useful mycological characteristics as a strain that provides a useful substance, such as a vegetable oil, in a microalga, as the strain has a fast cell growth speed and an excellent lipid generation function compared to conventional strains. In particular, the present invention can provide a vegetable oil with improved stability and a longer preservation period by containing, in a cell, a large amount of antioxidant pigments such as lutein and zeaxanthin, and can, thereby, be usefully used in industries such as food, medicine, cosmetics, etc., which utilize a vegetable oil.

A cosmetic composition is disclosed for applying to skin. The composition includes a liquid and dispersed in the liquid: any amount or form of fucoidan, any amount or form of beta glucan; and any amount of a marine extract.
