Sun Protectant Products | Mycosporine Mimics Inspired by Nature

Efficient. MAAs mimics. Inspired by nature.

Mycosporine Amino Acids (MAAs) have existed in nature for millions of years. They are produced by organisms in marine environments such as bacteria and microalgae to self protect from the sun using a specific mechanism of action. We have succeeded in reproducing this mechanism into a more effective and stable one.

Scientific & Manufacturing Innovation

We specialize in developing, manufacturing and commercializing
innovative UV-protectants

Scientific Innovation

Upon sun exposure, natural Mycosporine Amino Acids are secreted by algae through a defined mechanism. Our patented platform allows us to mimic this mechanism of action and to generate more efficient and stable molecules. This is a breakthrough innovation.

Our applications

Personal Care

Our products are photostable, cover a wide UV-protection, and have special moisturizing and antioxidation properties. They can be used in cosmetics, beauty and personal care formulations

Textiles

Our products demonstrated outstanding protection for fabrics such as aramids, used in many wears and garments for firemen, army, gas, oil and mining industries.

Coating

Our products have the potential to protect special coatings from degrading under the sun. These coatings are used in outdoor equipment, shields and paint.

Plastics

Our products have the potential to protect and extend shelf life of special plastic polymers such as polyethylene and polyesters used for outdoor applications.
