Spirulina is the dried biomass obtained from the algae Arthrospira Platensis, a blue-green microalga that grows naturally in the warm, salty lakes of South America and South Africa, known for centuries for its beneficial properties. For skin and hair, its vitamin E and beta-carotene content helps counteract the effects of free radicals, while amino acids, proteins, and minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, manganese, selenium, and zinc make it a valuable ingredient for anti-aging skincare formulas and for promoting healthy hair.
