Peptides have become a buzzword in skincare. They are short chains of amino acids, designed in labs to signal the skin to produce more collagen or elastin. They can work, but they are man-made, often fragile in formulas, and usually come with a high price tag.
Marine bio-actives offer another way. Instead of relying on synthetic fragments, extracts from seaweed and marine microorganisms naturally stimulate the skin’s own renewal pathways.
Synthetic peptides can be clever, but the ocean already provides natural solutions that are effective, clinically proven, and far more sustainable. That’s why you’ll find marine actives at the heart of my Oceanic creams.
