Premium Microalgae Skincare

Targeted Marine Solutions for Aging & Inflammation.

Focused formulas built around algae-rich botanicals, an antioxidant 6,000 times more potent than vitamin C, and nature-sourced antimicrobial properties.

Targeted algae science for skin that is tired of being stripped, burned, and weathered.

The Living Layer

The physical half of the ritual. Algae you can feel working.

Where the Emerald and Ruby treat the skin chemically, The Living Layer treats it tactilely. The exfoliator is micronized chlorella — spherical algal cells that lift dead skin while leaving the living layer untouched, replacing the microtears of conventional scrubs. The mask is the same algae, rehydrated, so the full water-soluble nutrient profile — vitamins, amino acids, polysaccharides — is delivered directly into freshly cleared skin. We recommend them as the bridge between cleanse and treat. They’re what makes the rest of the ritual land deeper.

Whether your skin is crying out for relief or craving deep cellular defense, the answer isn’t more synthetic chemicals. It’s radical, botanical simplicity.

Radical, Botanical Simplicity.

No synthetic fillers. No harsh preservatives. Just purely active, biome-friendly chemistry designed to heal.

70% Olive-Derived Squalane & 30% Jojoba Oil

The Science We don’t use cheap, filler oils that sit on top of your skin. This specific ratio is biomimetic, meaning its molecular structure perfectly mimics your skin’s natural sebum.

The Result Immediate, weightless absorption. It pulls our active marine ingredients deep into your cellular barrier without ever clogging a single pore or leaving a greasy residue.

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.
