B-Phycoerythrin (B-PE) pigment comes from the marine microalga Porphyridium sp. It delivers a vivid purple-pink color, strong antioxidant power, and immune support. Manufacturers can choose from purity grades E16, E18, and E25. B-Phycoerythrin adds bright natural color to cosmetics while supporting anti-aging and skin protection. In nutraceuticals, it strengthens antioxidant defense and product appeal. In biotechnology, scientists use it for fluorescence and research.
