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:
ā¢ Hydrate dry skin
ā¢ Soothe upset skin
ā¢ Repair, soften and renew damaged, weathered and aged skin.
From Blackbear to Skincare
Marin was founded by two University of Maine Bioengineering grad students. Co-founder Amber Boutiette dealt with severe eczema throughout college, and after years of trying everything, worked with lobster scientist Dr. Bob Bayer to stumble upon an unexpected solution.
In the same way Marine Glycoproteins allowed lobsters to regenerate limbs, they could actually help repair the skin barrier. Trying a DIY, Glycoprotein-rich cream made in Bobs' kitchen, her eczema was cleared - and they knew they needed to launch Marin to bring Glycoproteins to others.

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! -

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, weĀ recommend starting with a pea-sized dropĀ 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,Ā 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!
