Spirulina Amino Acids is an amino acid complex derived by the hydrolyzation of protein from Spirulina platensis cyanobacterium. Spirulina is an aquatic and edible blue-green plant that contains the essential fatty acid g–Linolenic Acid (GLA) as a major fatty acid, as well as other n-6 fatty acids which it is thought to synthesize.
Spirulina Amino Acids is an all-natural moisturizing complex from renewable botanical sources. It is also known under the trade name Hydrolina AA.
Like other plant-derived hydrolizates, Spirulina Amino Acids is a substantive ingredient to hair and skin. Amino acids and small peptides easily penetrate and moisturize the skin and hair from within, acting as an NMFs (natural moisturizing factor).
