Safe Sea is a skincare brand and the developer of the world's first sunscreen to provide proven protection against jellyfish stings and UV radiation. The company operates globally through its manufacturer, Nidaria Technology Ltd., and various distributors worldwide.
Company Background
Founders:
Safe Sea was founded in 1995 by a team of marine scientists and biotechnologists, including Dr. Amit Lotan (CEO of Nidaria Technology) and Dr. Tamar Lotan.
Inspiration:
The founders were inspired by the clownfish, which has a natural coating that prevents sea anemones (part of the same family as jellyfish) from stinging it.
Research & Development:
Dr. Amit Lotan, who earned his Ph.D. in Biology and researched jellyfish protection with United Nations and U.S. Navy scientists, established Nidaria Technology in 2001 to develop this protective product. The formula has been the subject of extensive research and clinical trials at institutions like Stanford University.
Mission:
The company's goal is to make the beach a safer place by offering a comprehensive solution that combines sun protection (UVA/UVB) and a unique, patented jellyfish sting inhibitor, all while being environmentally conscious.
Product Technology
Safe Sea sunscreens work through a dual mechanism that makes it difficult for jellyfish tentacles to discharge their stinging cells (nematocysts) upon contact with skin.
Slippery Barrier:
The formula creates a slippery, water-resistant barrier on the skin that makes it harder for tentacles to get a grip.
Chemical Disruption:
The unique, patented ingredients mimic the chemical secretions found on clownfish skin, which block the chemical pathways used to activate the stinging mechanism.
Pressure Reduction:
The formula also reduces the internal osmotic pressure within the stinging cells, effectively disarming them.
Environmental & Skin Benefits
Reef-Safe:
The products are certified "Friend of the Sea" and are free from harmful chemicals like oxybenzone and octinoxate, which are known to cause coral bleaching.
Biodegradable:
The formulas are designed to release less than 5% of their active ingredients into the water, making them highly marine-friendly.
Skin-Friendly:
All products are dermatologically tested, hypoallergenic, paraben-free, and suitable for sensitive skin. They also contain vitamins B and E for hydration and antioxidant benefits.
Water Resistance:
The sunscreens offer high water resistance, maintaining effectiveness for up to 80 minutes of activity in the water.
