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.

"I received last week have used daily i have used a prescription cream for a few years for small painful red bumps not only have the bumps finally started to heal also very soothing and discolored skin on my chin and around my nose is actually fading. So hydrating no odor not sure but even lessening some wrinkles. This is good stuff and very reasonably priced will buy the large tube next time. Thank you"
"Thank you for making this wonderful product, my son has had eczema issues and we’ve tried so many things. I purchased a small sample size last spring and he used it constantly but it lasted forever. When he ran out, it all came back, so I made another order of full size and I’m so thankful to know it will fix him right up!"
"Well no more itchy dry skin. Been using for 5 months now . My old dry wrinkly skin with itch patches has improved tremendously. Itchy and redness almost no existent. Wrinkles look softer . Hey I’m in my 70’s skin is not going to be smooth. It is absorbed into skin and does what is advertised. It had to be good I keep using it daily !"
"I’ve had severe dyshidrotic eczema on my hands for a couple years that never fully goes away and I ordered this on a whim during a particularly bad flareup. When the cream arrived I was moving into the thickened bumpy skin/cracking phase of the flare and this has seemed to take care of the worst of it! After 6days of using the cream after washing my hands the skin is pretty soft and no new fissures have formed. The couple areas of raw cracked skin I already had are mostly healed, too. I was feeling pretty optimistic after the first few days so I did a couple activities that would usually make my skin worse but my hands have kept improving! I did have some minor itching on one finger that I hit with hydrocortisone but really not as bad as it should have been. Since the problem is on my hands I am really concerned about smell and consistency of creams. After a few minutes most of the cream soaks in and is minimally greasy (love not feeling like a snail leaving smudges on everything I touch) and the smell is minimal and not offensive (though my dog has let me know it’s something she would like to lick). Definitely reordering so I can have a tube on me at all times - wish me luck! :)"
"My baby developed severe cheek eczema. The doctor had prescribed a steroid cream, which worked for a few days before it came back worse. If I wasn't watching, he would scratch his cheeks raw, making them bleed. A doctor friend reached out to me with this cream, sending me the link. Without hesitation, I bought it and started using it. In a matter of days, his cheeks were almost clear. We use this alongside Vaseline, and his eczema is doing so much better. We still have to stay on top of it, keeping his cheeks clean and hydrated throughout the day, but at least we aren't reliant upon steroid cream!"
"My eczema skin gets so angry and only steroid creams will help calm it down, but also dry my skin til it's flaky. I was hesitant to try Marin, as I have spent so much money trying products just for my skin to flare up and take months to calm down. But Marin has been amazing! I still have used a little steroid cream for patches, but my skin so far loves this lotion! It provides a thick barrier that is like a drink to my face. I also have loved the mint lip gloss. It has helped calm down the angry patch I get above my lip sometimes. I will be buying this again, amd am glad I took the chance on this prodcut!"
"I have only been able to use this two nights, but my hand eczema is worse. I’m Going to keep trying, because the flare could be due to anything. As far as hand lotion goes, this is a quality formula. My skin feels great on my hands where I don’t have eczema."
"I suffer from perioral dermatitis that is triggered by stress and hormones. ( so fun for me). I’ve tried all the prescription steroid creams, tacrolimus ointment, and Metronidazole gel which all kinda worked but also burned or had other undesirable side effects. This lotion cleared a flare in 2 days!"
"I bought product after a lengthy consideration. It’s easy to fall into creative ads and their marketing gimmicks. As my psoriatic started to show some signs on my face and could not manage on my own, I thought I would try Marin. A small sample should show me something right? So I believe in seven days there is improvement. So it is promising! I can’t wait for the moment my face is clear!"
"I have struggled with eczema on my eyelids for years and have gone through countless different topical options. This is the first product that has given me resolve without burning, sensitizing, or causing additional redness to my skin. My eczema clears within a few uses and my skin feels great. It’s been a great steroid-free solution, and has now even become my daily face moisturizer, without causing any acne. This product truly saved my skin."
Our Story
"I tried the ineffective moisturizers and harsh steroids, nothing helped. Our Marine Glycoproteins were the only thing that worked for me. After years of suffering with dry, irritated skin we made it our mission to bring this relief to others."

Sorry big pharma, there's a new, natural game-changer in town. We're #eczemawarriors and #tswwarriors
Formulated for sensitive skin following National Eczema Association standards
what was wasted now radically helps others!
"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!"
"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"
"It works!!!! I have tried a lot of different creams for my hands with no results!!!! This stuff calms everything down !!! So happy"

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 discovered a new ingredient: Marine Glycoproteins!
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.
Use in the morning, evening, and as-needed throughout the day.
Suitable for use on your face, hands, and body.
To apply, rub a dime-sized amount into your skin in the morning, throughout the day as-needed to spot-treat, and at night after exfoliating or simply before bed. For extra-irritated skin patches, use the Soothing Hydration Cream to keep it moist as possible throughout the day.
When applying to areas of your face, as a relatively thick, rich cream, we recommend starting with a pea-sized drop and increasing the amount applied if necessary.

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!
