Emerald

Freshwater Algae Skincare

Two algae. One defends. One restores.

One survives sun that should kill it. The other rebuilds itself in a day.

Which one, when?

Night & Day

Ruby by day. Emerald by night.

Defense while you’re out in the light. Repair while you sleep.

Day · Ruby

Wear it into the light.

Ruby is built on astaxanthin — the red an algae floods itself with to survive lethal sun. Most antioxidants guard half of a skin cell. This one covers both halves at once.

Goes under your sunscreen, never instead of it.

Night · Emerald

Let it work while you sleep.

Emerald is chlorella and blue tansy doing four jobs in one bottle: calms redness, clears congestion, feeds skin, seals the barrier. Your skin rebuilds overnight. This is for those hours.

The last step before bed.

Once doesn’t matter. 3,650 times does.

Skincare only works as a daily habit. Ten years of it is 3,650 applications of whatever is in the bottle, so even a little of something harsh adds up.

The smartest formula is the simplest one. Every one of ours shares four things.

  1. 01

    Straight to the skin

    Nutrients you eat pass through your gut first, and skin is last in line. Topical goes straight to where you want it.

  2. 02

    Freshwater, never ocean

    Our algae is grown in fresh water, away from the microplastics, heavy metals and industrial runoff that ocean algae can carry.

  3. 03

    Waterless, so nothing to preserve

    Water is why most skincare needs synthetic preservatives. We left it out, so there are none to break down in the bottle or build up on your skin.

  4. 04

    Gentle by design

    Fragrance and preservatives are the two most common causes of cosmetic skin allergies. We use no synthetic versions of either, just a short list of low-reactivity ingredients.

Farm-to-Face

Cultivated with care, not in a corporate lab.

For a long time, we couldn't find what we were looking for. There were harsh prescription treatments on one side, and feel-good natural products with little science behind them on the other. Nothing in between — especially not for sensitive skin.

So we did the research ourselves.

My wife has always been passionate about skincare — the rituals, the ingredients, what actually works and why. I came at it from a different angle. I'd struggled with acne most of my life, and I'd also become fascinated with microalgae — not just as an ingredient, but as one of the most important organisms on the planet. The more scientists study it, the clearer it becomes: algae is going to play a significant role in how humans live and eat sustainably. That felt worth paying attention to.

When we started combining those two interests — her deep knowledge of what skin actually needs, and my obsession with what algae is capable of — something clicked. We spent months researching, formulating, and testing on ourselves. What we discovered is that the skin doesn't need more actives thrown at it. It needs ingredients that work with it, delivered in a way the skin already understands.

These products came out of that process. They're what we actually use. Every morning, the two of us still do our skincare rituals together — and that hasn't changed since the beginning.
