Blue Spirulina Extract Introduction
Phycocyanin is a natural water-soluble blue pigment-protein extracted from organic spirulina, with both vibrant coloring and multiple functions: antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immune support. It is an ideal natural blue ingredient for clean-label products.
We use low-temperature wall breaking + membrane filtration + freeze drying to maximize color retention and activity. The product features excellent water solubility, stable color and neutral odor, widely used in functional drinks, gummies, bakery, supplements and cosmetics.
As a natural edible blue pigment, it perfectly replaces artificial colors and meets global brands’ core demand for natural, healthy & attractive ingredients.

Common Questions
FAQ About Blue Spirulina Powder
What’s the difference between phycocyanin and regular spirulina powder?
Phycocyanin is high-purity blue active protein from spirulina (≥95% purity), stronger coloring & function. Regular spirulina powder is whole meal with more impurities, darker color & lower activity.
Can it dissolve completely in cold water without sediment?
Yes, 100% water-soluble modified, instant dissolve in cold/warm water, clear & transparent solution, no sediment or turbidity.
Is this product organic certified?
Yes, dual EU Organic + USDA Organic certified, no pesticides, fertilizers or GMOs.
How to choose color value E3/E6/E10/E18/E25?
Low E3–E6 for basic coloring; medium-high E10–E18 for high-end drinks; ultra-high E25 for minimal addition & high color display.
Is it safe for skincare use?
Safe & mild, natural antioxidant & brightening, ideal for masks, serums, cleansers, makeup & natural formulas.
Will it fade during high-temperature processing?
Our stabilized process improves heat resistance, maintaining good color in regular baking & pasteurization.
Do you support OEM for custom color value & packaging?
Custom color value, particle size, packaging & private label supported, one-stop OEM service.
How to ensure batch consistency for bulk orders?
Fixed supply chain + standardized production + color value/purity test per batch, highly consistent color, content & solubility.
