Linablue® G1- a Colorant for Cosmetics


Recognizing a growing preference for natural raw materials in cosmetics, DIC presented Linablue® G1 as a colorant for cosmetics at the 9th Cosmetic Ingredients & Technology Exhibition Japan (CITE Japan 2019) in May 2019, earned high marks from visitors.

In addition to its vivid blue color and solubility in water, Linablue® G1 boasts powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, underscoring its suitability for everything from makeup to skin care products. Accordingly, demand for use in organic cosmetics is expected to increase in the years to come.

Linablue® G1 is extracted from DIC Spirulina, an edible blue-green alga used primarily as a health food, which DIC has long cultivated primarily for food-related applications.

Guided by its new medium-term management plan, DIC111, DIC is working to provide both social value, which contributes to sustainability and markets, and economic value, which underpins corporate growth, ensuring it remains a unique global company that is trusted by society. Going forward, the DIC Group will continue striving to help realize a sustainable society by providing products made with renewable and naturally derived raw materials.
