Linablue® G1-S, is a natural phycocyanin derived from spirulina, a microscopic algae with high levels of proteins, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, often called “the king of superfoods”. Linablue® G1-S is an ingredient that can be incorporated into various products such as serums, face masks, skin care, sanitary products and make-up at a recommended dosage of 0.1 to 1.0%.

Derived from spirulina algae, LINABLUE® delivers a vivid sky-blue hue most similar to Brilliant Blue FD&C #1, without any dyeing effect.

The journey of LINABLUE® begins at the Sun Chemical spirulina farm in Southeastern California, the largest in the world. Originally founded in 1976 by the Proteus Corporation and later renamed Earthrise Nutritionals, the farm has been wholly owned by DIC since 2005.
