What Is Blue Micro Algae?
Blue micro algae (cyanobacteria) are among the oldest life forms on Earth, having survived for billions of years through powerful survival mechanisms. Phormidium persicinum is cultivated for its unique beneficial compounds.
The extract contains phycocyanin, the blue pigment with potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It also provides peptides and polysaccharides that support skin renewal and barrier function.
Blue algae extracts help protect against oxidative stress and support healthy ageing at the cellular level.
