Drawn from clear volcanic lakes and carefully cultivated, the spirulina algae unfolds its impressive potential. As one of the oldest life forms on Earth, it is rich in natural vital substances – including amino acids, vitamins, and powerful antioxidants. The extract obtained from it, Spiralin®, is particularly beneficial: it acts like a natural protective shield on the skin, supports regeneration, and strengthens the skin barrier – gentle yet effective.
Spirulina platensis
The water lies still – yet deep within it, life of astonishing strength grows. Microscopic in size, yet full of energy: algae store the best of sun, water, and minerals. Within them works a natural intelligence, shaped over millions of years – created to protect, renew, and survive under the most extreme conditions.
Algae pass this primal power of water on to the skin: like an invisible veil of moisture, protection, and balance. In modern skincare, their natural abilities are used in a targeted way – for skin that feels strengthened, soothed, and balanced.
Spirulina platensis, often referred to as “blue-green algae,” is a cyanobacterium and is known for its exceptionally high content of protein, vitamins, minerals, and, above all, its antioxidant compounds.
Name: Spirulina platensis
Taxonomy: blue-green algae, genus: Arthrospira
Appearance: spiral- or screw-shaped
Color: blue-green
Spirulina platensis thrives in warm, alkaline freshwater lakes – preferably in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia, and South America. Ideal conditions prevail there: high temperatures, intense sunlight, and a pH value between 8 and 11. ¹
In this hostile environment, spirulina algae has managed to adapt to extreme environmental conditions and intense UV radiation over billions of years.
Spiralin® harnesses these clever protective mechanisms in skincare.
The algae is known for its exceptionally high content of bioactive substances, including:
In skincare, spirulina extract is used because of its:
