Spirulina Powder 50 g

A green algae powder that works across food, wellness and skincare formulas

Spirulina powder is one of the most globally demanded algae-based ingredients, valued for its rich content of plant protein, amino acids and natural chlorophyll. The largest worldwide demand for this ingredient comes from the food industry and dietary supplement production, where spirulina is added to smoothie blends, protein bars, capsules and functional food mixes as a plant-based protein source. At the same time, spirulina is widely used in skincare and color cosmetics manufacturing thanks to its intense green pigment and antioxidant-rich composition. This item belongs to the Powdered Extracts and Algae category, which brings together plant concentrates used across multiple production fields.

The 50 g pack size is convenient for home formulation of masks, scrubs, shampoos and food mixes, as well as for testing small trial batches before scaling a recipe further. In cosmetic formulas, spirulina powder is typically added during the cold phase or right before applying the finished mixture, which helps preserve its active compounds. Recommended usage levels usually range from 1 to 5 percent of the total formula weight, depending on the desired color intensity and richness of the final product. For home masks, the powder is often simply blended with water, hydrolate or a carrier oil until a smooth paste forms.

In food experiments, spirulina is added in small amounts to smoothies, energy bars, homemade protein mixes and baked goods, adjusted to personal taste preferences. When combined with other plant powders, spirulina pairs well with Ginseng Extract Powder, which enhances the toning effect of skin formulas, as well as with Edelweiss Extract Powder, often used in anti-aging blends. To add a touch of freshness and balance a rich taste or scent, Lemon Extract Powder can be a useful addition.

Store spirulina powder in a tightly sealed container, in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, since exposure to humidity accelerates the loss of pigments and active compounds. Before use, check the powder for lumps or foreign particles. At home, spirulina is sometimes used in soap making as a natural colorant for greenish shades, although this remains just one of many possible applications for this raw material.
