Expert Verdict
The INCI does not specify the algae species — this is a significant data gap for CPSR. Supplier must provide the exact algae species, as safety profiles differ dramatically (e.g., Chlorella vs. Laminaria vs. Spirulina). Heavy metal bioaccumulation is a known risk for marine algae substrates — test for As, Cd, Hg, Pb.
