What It Does
Chlorella Vulgaris Powder is a dried, powdered form of Chlorella vulgaris, a single-celled freshwater green microalgae cultivated in controlled aquatic environments, particularly in Asia. It is exceptionally rich in chlorophyll, carotenoids, vitamins (B12, C, E), amino acids, and polysaccharides, making it a multifunctional active prized for its antioxidant, skin-brightening, and soothing properties. Formulators choose it for its high concentration of bioavailable nutrients and its ability to impart a natural green pigmentation alongside genuine skin-conditioning benefits.
