Arthrospira Platensis Extract

Product Description

Arthrospira Platensis Extract (Spirulina Extract) is a nutrient-rich marine microalgae-derived cosmetic active obtained from blue-green algae known for high levels of phycocyanin, proteins, polysaccharides, and bioactive micronutrients.

It is designed for advanced functional skincare systems targeting oxidative stress, urban environmental damage, skin fatigue, and hydration imbalance.

At the bioactivity level, it supports antioxidant defense mechanisms and helps reduce free radical stress caused by UV exposure and pollution.

At the skin conditioning level, it enhances hydration balance, improves skin smoothness, and supports overall skin vitality and resilience appearance.

It is widely applied in marine biotechnology skincare systems, antioxidant serums, hydrating emulsions, and detox-focused cosmetic formulations.
