Spirulina in personal care products

There are now many other non-food items "enhanced" by adding a small dosage of spirulina as an ingredient. These are mainly personal care items : spirulina soaps, spirulina moisturisers, spirulina face masks, spirulina wraps, spirulina conditioners, spirulina shampoos. A whole suite of personal care items has sprouted from adding spirulina to otherwise ordinary items. The claims are that spirulina is rich in protein, Gamma Linelinic Acid(GLA), beta-carotene, enzyme (principally S.O.) and other micronutrients. These personal care items usually lay claims that spirulina contributes to whitening and smoothening of skin. Skin whitening is a big business in Asia, especially South East Asia. It is also said that spirulina helps in detoxification of various parts of the body. Additionally, spirulina lightens the contour, moisturises skin, and evening has a calming effect. Truly, spirulina is a nature's wonder. One day,I may not be able to escape using any personal care items without spirulina!!! (obliged to use customers' products)!!!
