What is Spirulina?
Spirulina is a blue-green algae that grows in both fresh and saltwater that holds an abundant amount of benefits (which we’ll get to shortly). This ingredient is a type of cyanobacteria, which is a family of single-celled microbes. Not only can spirulina be used on your skin, it can also be consumed in the form of a supplement where your body can get some nutrients. Oh yes please!
Benefits
Detoxifies
Get ready to say “see ya later” to toxin-filled skin! Spirulina contains chlorophyll, which provides strong cleaning properties that attract and remove metals from the body before they reach and store themselves in your skin tissue. Additionally, this ingredient facilitates faster cell turnover that will help heal your skin faster.
Spirulina will also ward off any free radicals and additional toxins to increase your skin’s metabolism. Worried about pesky breakouts? No worries! This ingredient prevents candida overgrowth that would cause the breakouts. No more unwanted acne to rain on your parade!
Full of Vitamins & Nutrients
There’s an abundant amount of vitamins and nutrients found in this ingredient! With a high content of vitamins A, E, and B-12, your skin will get what it needs to make it look and feel good. If you feel like your skin is looking a little on the tired side, spirulina will liven and tone it up!
