Spirulina Maxima Extract

Explained

Spirulina Maxima Extract comes from a type of blue-green cyanobacterium that grows in freshwater. It is packed with proteins, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and a blue pigment called phycocyanin.

Research shows this ingredient has antioxidant properties, supports skin hydration, and may even help with oil control.

In one clinical study, 40 volunteers applied a gel with 0.1% Spirulina twice daily for 28 days say improved hydration in the outermost layer of skin and reduced water loss (with results most noticeable in the mature skin group).

Lab studies have also found Spirulina to support fibroblast and keratinocyte activity, collagen production, and wound healing.
