Blue algaeВ is set to ruffle some beauty feathers because it's vying withВ bakuchiol for the accolade of 2019's hottest ingredient. According to intelligence agency Mintel, blue algae is on its way to being one of 2019's biggest skincare trends. Blue algae has many names-blue-green algae, cyanobacteria, spirulina-but what skincare experts are laser-focused on is that the pigment-richВ ingredient can work wonders when applied to the skin. For decades now, scientists have known that the pigment in blue algae is a great source of antioxidants. In the Mintel article, the author and skin expert Jo Lawlor reveals that blue algae is "packed with a powerhouse of essential amino acids and mineralsвЂ¦ В It boosts skin moisture by preventing water loss, and is rich in antioxidant vitamins and minerals, which contribute to the elimination of free radicals within the skin."

Whether you're a city dweller who has to deal with a barrage of pollutants every day or you're dealing with unwanted skin dehydration, adding a daily dose of blue algae to your skin routine could help keep your skin looking and feeling its glowy best.
