Gentle, effective, sustainable
Hydrate, Soothe, Repair
Gentle & effective skincare made with upcycled Marine Glycoproteins🦞
A scrappy, Maine startup that prizes innovation, sustainability, and less waste.
Surprisingly effective... and bringing value to Maine's sustainable fishery!
Scientifically termed Marine Glycoproteins, which in the past, would have gone right down the drain!
A good option for those with eczema, psoriasis, and dry skin.
The Original "Lobster Lotion"
Introducing...
Marine Glycoproteins
The new superpowered barrier-repairing Marine ingredient ~ A once natural byproduct of lobster processing, turned upcycled game-changer.
Born from scratching our own itch
We're Bioengineers that worked with lobster scientists, researching a glycoprotein that allows lobsters to regenerate limbs - in the same way they do this, they help repair the skin barrier!
After trying everything to clear our own eczema, we experimented with a homemade glycoprotein-rich formula... The results changed everything.
An Upcycled, Natural Byproduct
Glycoproteins are a natural byproduct of lobster processing - they go right down the drain!
We partnered with Luke's Lobster to sustainably & ethically collect them.
Finally, as Bioengineers we do a *little* chemistry, turning what would otherwise be wasted into a powerful, natural skincare ingredient.
Loved by Real People
Oh, and we did the Science
As Bioengineers, it was important for us to create a widely accessible, clinically-backed ingredient for the good of all.
After discovering glycoproteins using them for our own skin (n=1), we self-funded (sorry big pharma) the In Vitro + In Vivo work to launch the next barrier-repairing super-ingredient.

On the Cellular level, it turns out Glycoproteins are excellent at:
- Increasing Dermal and Epidermal Barrier Health & Repair
- Stimulating Fibroblast Proliferation
- Increasing Natural Hyaluronic Acid Production
- Stimulating Collagen Synthesis
- Increasing Overall Skin Cell Viability
