Seaspire Skincare was founded in 2019 by Northeastern researchers Camille Martin, PhD, and Leila Deravi, PhD, to commercialize a bio-identical molecule called Xanthochrome. The molecule was discovered during their cephalopod research at Northeastern's Center for Research Innovation and is reported to outperform commonly used skincare materials in safety and performance. Seaspire plans to launch a direct-to-consumer beauty brand focused on pigmentation disorders and skin hydration. The company emphasizes that its technology is inspired by sea life but does not use materials taken from the ocean. The seed funding will support product development and the planned spring 2023 brand launch. Financial details reported in the article are limited to the seed raise amount.
