Scientifically, a Healthier Barrier with Daily Use

"This was in our lives for years. Countless nights of itching and days hiding by hats, scarves and hoodies. After discovering Glycoproteins by clearing Amber's eczema in grad school, we knew we had to bring them to others"

"Life Saver" - Brynn
"I have suffered with exema for 3 years now. I had a patch on the back of my head that just would not clear up. I had started using just hydrocortisone cream, then was prescribed numerous steroid treatments to no avail. I had really just given up hope and thought that I would just live with it on the back of my neck forever. A co-worker had a tube of Marin on her desk and I tried it, honestly I wasn’t very optimistic about it, I thought for sure it wouldn’t do a thing. But WOW! This product has literally saved my life. I used the product 2 times a day for 4 days and the difference was incredible. My neck is no longer itching, flaking, or inflamed. I will continue to use the product until it clears completely up, and I will recommend it to anyone I know who has suffered with exema like I have!"
"Life changing!" - Jess
"This year my eczema moved onto my face, specifically around my eyes. I tried everything and nothing was helping me. My mom saw a segment on our local news about Marin, and the creators eyes looked just like mine did. I put it on the day I received my order and it was instant relief. I was worried it was going to burn as soon as I put it on but it was so soothing. In the first week my skin started clearing up. I’ve been using Marin for a little less than a month now and my eyes are completely healed! This product is truly life changing!! Thank you guys so much"
"Game changer" - Scot

Cinically-Proven, a new "Everyday Game-changer"
In a clinical study conducted by a Dermatologist of 35 people with Eczema using the Cream twice/day:
- 78% experienced immediate relief
- 90% reported skin was less flaky and dry in 48 hours
- 97% felt their skin barrier was significantly healthier within 4 weeks
Powered by Marine Glycoproteins to hydrate, soothe and repair dry, damaged, upset skin.
The rich, indulgent, clinically-studied formula that started it all - thoughtfully designed for use both as daily moisturizer and to spot-treat dry, upset patches on the face, hands, and body.
Hydrate & Repair with Glycoproteins (not Steroids)
"Clinically, this is the best thing we've ever used for our own eczema, so we purified, patented and formulated Marin to help others"

A Natural Byproduct
Glycoproteins are a natural byproduct of lobster processing - they go right down the drain!
Sustainably Upcycled
We partnered with local lobster processor Luke's Lobster to collect the glycoprotein and upcycle them as a value-added byproduct of their operation - turning an ocean resource that once was wasted into something good for the world and people.
With a Little Science
As Bioengineers, we developed in-house processes doing a *little* chemistry (we mean literally, it was in our house), to turn these proteins into a clean, stable, effective skincare ingredient.
Nothing was working
We were just looking for something that actually helped. When it comes to eczema, psoriasis, or overall dry, upset, damaged skin - drugstore creams didn't cut it, steroid creams burned, and we were sick of buying new products constantly only to stash them away in a drawer when they didn't work.

We tried product after product looking for something that helped our skin and wasn’t full of harsh steroids or irritating ingredients, and actually felt good to use.

If you’re here, you know it's a stressful, up-and-down journey to find something that actually helps. First of all, please know that you are not alone.

A very unlikely, very 'Maine' connection
While in graduate school at UMaine for Biomedical Engineering, we met Dr. Bob Bayer, a lobster scientist researching a glycoprotein found in lobster that allows lobster to fight off disease, heal wounds and even regenerate limbs.
~
He discovered in the same way the glycoprotein helps lobster regenerate limbs, it could actually help repair the skin barrier.
~
After trying everything and seeing some in vitro data from the lab, we said 'what the heck' and decided to try a glycoprotein-rich formula on Amber's skin. After patch-testing to make sure it was safe and non-irritating, she began using the prototype cream on her entire body, face and eyelids.

The Results Changed Everything.
With low expectations (everything else had let us down!), within a few days of using the glycoprotein-rich formula, the dry, rough, flaky patches were clearing up.
~
Within two weeks, it was all fading away... The itching, the redness, the sleepless nights...
~
Within a month is was like it never happened!! This changed EVERYTHING. We knew we had stumbled upon something that would change peoples' lives.
