What Is Spirulina Zea-Botanicals® Extract?
Spirulina Zea-Botanicals® Extract delivers spirulina, the blue-green microalga Arthrospira platensis, in Zemea, a plant-derived, renewable propanediol. Rather than a plant or a seaweed, spirulina is a microscopic cyanobacterium from tropical alkaline lakes; Bio-Botanica supplies this extract full-spectrum and non-standardized as a ready-to-blend liquid for cosmetic and personal-care formulators.
Market Demand
Algae botanicals have become a fixture of clean beauty, valued for their marine provenance and their distinctive blue-green color. Spirulina is the most recognizable name among them, and a renewable-propanediol liquid lets formulators use it without the dust and dispersion difficulties of dried powder.
Formulation Applications
The Zemea base disperses into serums, masks, gels, and conditioning treatments, integrating cleanly into the water phase and metering by volume rather than requiring powder handling. Its natural pigment can be embraced as a visual cue or diluted down, and positioning stays with format, carrier, and a clean-label algae story rather than any consumer health claim.
Why Formulators Choose Bio-Botanica
Family-owned since 1972, Bio-Botanica extracts at an FDA-inspected cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York, where the low-heat Bio-Chelated process protects the naturally occurring constituents of this microalga. Every lot is verified through onsite HPLC, ICP/MS, microbial, and USP testing, and a certificate of analysis ships with each order. Kosher, Halal, and Organic certification is available to qualifying customers.
