Why Coco Blue Is Blue: Blue Spirulina, Not Artificial Dye
Blue spirulina gives Coco Blue its cobalt-blue color through phycocyanin, the natural blue pigment in the ingredient. Here is what that means for the formula.
The color is part of the ingredient story.
Where the blue comes from
Coco Blue gets its cobalt-blue color from organic blue spirulina. The blue comes from phycocyanin, a pigment-protein complex found in blue-green algae.
What that means in the pouch
In Coco Blue, blue spirulina is used as the source of the color. It sits alongside evaporated coconut water powder, organic lemon juice powder, organic lime juice powder, and sea salt.
The point is simple: the color is in the formula, not painted on afterward. Coco Blue is made without artificial colors, and the ingredient list tells you exactly where the blue comes from.
A natural variation
The finished drink can look a little different depending on the water, lighting, and how thoroughly it is mixed. That is normal for a drink colored by an ingredient rather than a lab-made dye.
