As Bioengineers, we worked with lobster scientists to discover a glycoprotein that allows lobsters to regenerate limbs - in the same way they do this, they help repair the skin barrier!
A natural, upcycled byproduct of lobster processing, this superpowered regenerative protein helps:
• Hydrate dry skin
• Soothe upset skin
• Repair, soften and renew damaged, weathered and aged skin.

How Glycoproteins Work
Marine Glycoproteins are a natural by product of lobster processing – a naturally abundant, regenerative protein that allows lobster to regenerate limbs, and in the same way, help repair our skin barrier. They function as an all-in-one ingredient for deeply hydrating, quickly soothing and visibly repairing the barrier, by stimulating broblast proliferation and hyaluronic acid production, helping maintain broblast (dermal skin cell) viability, and upregulating collagen synthesis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Safety and non-irritation is really important to us!
We had Dermatologists clinically test this to make sure it's a non-irritating formula. They performed what's called a repeat insult patch test study (RIPT study), where 50 participants apply the product for a period of 6 weeks, tested each week for signs irritation. Our participants experienced no irritation throughout the entire study!Moreover, we formulated this product to be irritant-free, fragrance-free, paraben-free, and comply with the National Eczema Association's list of unapproved ingredients!

We actually have a BUNCH of people using the cream to help soothe skin prone to eczema or psoriasis! This is actually why we founded Marin and created the product - after the glycoproteins helped *finally* soothe our own eczema, we felt compelled to bring this new, natural solution to others like us!
Overall, glycoproteins do a great job hydrating and repairing dry, damaged skin, while also smoothing and softening rough skin out - a combination of concerns that is common among many people with psoriasis, dermatitis and eczema.
We think reviews for concerns like psoriasis speak for themselves - you can actually search reviews at the bottom of our Soothing Hydration Cream page, here!
-
We actually have a lot of parents and grandparents using the cream for their little ones!
We've noticed that a lot of people prefer a more natural alternative to steroid creams, which can sometimes cause more damage than good. To be extra sure that Marin is gentle enough for their skin, we recommend applying a little dime-sized amount of product on before use, observing for any irritation, and continuing use once you've made sure their skin likes Marin!
