Consider this your cheatsheet for everything spirulina – the buzzy green skin-supporting ingredient everyone's talking about

Spirulina has quietly earned its superfood status over the years, but lately it's stepping out of the supplement aisle and into the skincare conversation. This bluish-green algae, long prized for its impressive nutrient profile, is suddenly appearing everywhere, from smoothie recipes to face masks. As beauty continues to move toward a more holistic, inside-out approach, spirulina acts as a quiet powerhouse for your skin. Stress, inflammation, environmental exposure, and nutrient deficiencies often manifest on the skin first, showing up as breakouts, uneven tone, or fine lines. Packed with antioxidants, chlorophyll, and protein, spirulina benefits the skin by fighting oxidative stress, calming inflammation, and supporting skin repair.
