About BlueC™
At BlueC™, we believe the future of natural ingredients lies where science, sustainability, and innovation come together.
Developed by Algae Products International, winner of the Best Microalgae R&D Firm 2025 & 2026 at the GHP Innovation Excellence Awards, BlueC™ represents years of research in unlocking the full potential of microalgae derived phycocyanin.
From our headquarters in Swansea, Wales, we oversee every stage of production in-house from algae cultivation and extraction to purification, quality control, and manufacturing. This fully integrated approach allows us to deliver one of the world's highest quality natural blue ingredients, trusted by manufacturers across the food & beverage, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries.
BlueC™ is more than a natural blue colour. It is a premium phycocyanin ingredient engineered for exceptional purity, stability, and performance, helping brands create cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable products without compromising quality.
BlueC™ Captures Carbon While Powering Innovation
Every gram of BlueC™ begins with one of nature's most remarkable organisms—microalgae.
Inside our advanced photobioreactor systems, cultivated spirulina naturally absorbs carbon dioxide as it grows, transforming captured CO₂ into valuable biomass. From this biomass, we extract highly purified phycocyanin—the vibrant blue protein that gives BlueC™ its exceptional colour and functional benefits.
By integrating carbon capture into every stage of cultivation and production, BlueC™ goes beyond sustainability. Our manufacturing process helps reduce environmental impact while providing manufacturers with a naturally derived ingredient that supports cleaner labels and a more responsible supply chain.
Choosing BlueC™ means choosing an ingredient developed with both product performance and planetary health in mind.
