Phycocyanin E18

Phycocyanin E18 is a natural algal phycocyanin complex extracted from the Platycoccus spiralis algae. It is also the only naturally occurring blue pigment raw material that can be industrially produced on a large scale in nature. The entire production process of Phycocyanin uses a purely physical low-temperature extraction method, with only pure water as the extraction aid. It undergoes multiple processes such as low-temperature concentration and spray drying to be refined. The entire process does not involve high-temperature damage or chemical solvent extraction. This process maximally retains the biological activity and natural nutritional structure of algal phycocyanin, different from the ordinary spirulina powder processed at high temperatures. It effectively avoids the problems of inactive active ingredients, dull color, and nutrient loss. The core active ingredient of Phycocyanin E18 is the algal phycocyanin complex formed by the combination of phycocyanin and protein. It is rich in eight essential amino acids for the human body, spirulina polysaccharides, β-carotene, γ-linolenic acid, and various endogenous active enzymes. Its nutritional structure is complete and easily absorbed by the human body. Phycocyanin E18 is a uniform and fine dark blue powder with bright and transparent color. The powder has good fluffiness, minimal color difference between batches, high visual consistency, and uniform coloring when applied to products. It will not cause blemishes or uneven color blocks, and its appearance quality far exceeds ordinary synthetic blue pigments.

Phycocyanin possesses exceptional free radical scavenging ability, with activity far superior to conventional antioxidant ingredients. It effectively neutralizes harmful free radicals generated during human and skin metabolism, reducing oxidative damage. Internally, it helps delay aging and maintain cellular vitality; externally, it alleviates issues such as dullness and oxidation in the skin, making it a natural anti-aging care ingredient.

Phycocyanin supports the body in synthesizing various active enzymes required for metabolism, activates immune cell function, and steadily enhances the body's defense capabilities. It also helps reduce physical stress caused by external stimuli, radiation, and repair processes, supporting immune system homeostasis-making it ideal for daily health maintenance.

Phycocyanin effectively downregulates the expression of pro-inflammatory factors and blocks inflammatory signaling pathways, helping to alleviate chronic inflammation. It not only improves internal inflammatory discomfort but also soothes skin redness and other sensitivities, gently repairing damaged conditions.

By regulating tyrosinase expression, Phycocyanin inhibits melanin production and deposition at the source, gently brightening skin tone and fading dark spots. With its moisturizing, soothing, and anti-irritant properties, it combines skincare efficacy with excellent sensory experience, positioning it as a core ingredient in premium natural skincare.

Phycocyanin fully replaces synthetic dyes, offering a non-toxic, safe, and nutrient-rich alternative containing essential amino acids required by the human body. It is commonly used in high-end functional beverages, protein powders, meal replacement powders, jellies, candies, ice cream, and baked goods to provide coloration and functional enhancement.

Phycocyanin is widely incorporated into premium skincare products such as serums, creams, face masks, toners, and repair balms.

It is frequently formulated into dietary supplements, multi-nutrient capsules, and anti-aging care tablets.
