Description

Spirulina Powder is a premium natural botanical ingredient widely used in handmade non-consumable products for its vibrant green hue, antioxidant content, and plant-based appeal. Derived from blue-green algae, spirulina is a popular addition to artisan soap making, natural skincare, bath and body products, and cosmetic formulations.

Its natural colouring properties make it an excellent choice for formulators looking to create earthy green tones in cold process soaps, melt and pour soaps, bath bombs, face masks, body scrubs, shampoo bars, and other handcrafted beauty products. Spirulina is especially valued in natural and herbal product lines due to its botanical origin and eco-conscious appeal.

Recommended usage rates vary depending on the application:• Cold Process Soap: 0.5–1 teaspoon per pound of oils (PPO)• Melt & Pour Soap: 0.25–0.5 teaspoon per pound of soap base• Face Masks & Clay Masks: 1–5% of total formulation• Body Scrubs: 0.5–2%• Bath Bombs: 0.5–1%• Shampoo Bars: 0.5–2%• Lotions & Creams: 0.1–0.5%• Decorative Craft Applications: Use as desired for natural colouring effects

Method of Use: To prevent clumping and ensure even color distribution, pre-mix Spirulina Powder with a small amount of oil, glycerine, or distilled water before adding it to your formulation. Incorporate during the cool-down phase or at light trace in soap making for better color retention and smoother blending.

Spirulina Powder blends well with clays, herbal powders, activated charcoal, aloe vera, and other botanical ingredients commonly used in handmade skincare and cosmetic formulations. Depending on formulation conditions and exposure to heat or sunlight, the color may naturally soften over time from bright green to olive green.

For best results, store the powder and finished products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Cosmetic-grade spirulina powder is recommended for all skincare and body care applications.
