Not all collagen is created equal. JellyCo delivers clean, safe, and sustainable invertebrate collagen—SimplySEA™—sourced exclusively from wild-caught Georgia jellyfish.
JellyCo is more than just sourcing, harvesting, and producing the highest-quality collagen derived from jellyfish – it’s about driving meaningful progress. By sustainably sourcing and manufacturing 100% wild-caught Georgia jellyfish in the U.S., we’re pioneering next-generation bioactive solutions that support Georgia’s Blue Economy.
Our Mission: To create the highest-quality, scientifically backed marine products that deliver superior efficacy and actively support the revitalization of coastal communities.
Our oceans are abundant yet fragile, and Georgia jellyfish—often seen as a nuisance and an overabundant species—present an opportunity to transform an ecological challenge into an economic solution.
JellyCo is working to revolutionize Georgia’s Blue Economy by diversifying its product portfolio—beginning with jellyfish—bringing back critical jobs and economic prosperity to these communities.
Our expert fishermen carefully harvest jellyfish at the perfect time – ensuring that only the freshest, highest-quality jellyfish become JellyCo products.
Using our proprietary chemical-free techniques, we transform these jellyfish into low molecular weight proteins – delivering pure, highly absorbable collagen peptides with minimal waste and energy use.
Know where your collagen comes from. Our products contain 100% Georgia jellyfish. No by-products. No fillers. Just pure, natural collagen. Because when you choose JellyCo, you choose Earth’s Cleanest Collagen™.
Our cosmetic-grade collagen derived from jellyfish is crafted for the conscious beauty consumer—those seeking next-generation solutions for hydration, radiance, anti-aging, and skin vitality.
Traditional collagen is often extracted from animal by-products using heavy processing and chemical treatments. In contrast, Georgia jellyfish are naturally composed of just three components: water, protein, and minerals.
Thanks to this remarkable simplicity, we’re able to gently separate out the water and minerals, leaving behind a clean, high-quality protein—most of which is natural collagen. From there, our proprietary, patent-pending process uses minimal intervention to transform it into premium collagen peptides—what we call SimplySEA™.
It’s collagen from the sea, reimagined in the purest way possible. That’s why we call it Earth’s Cleanest Collagen™.
We use the cannonball jellyfish. A native Georgia jellyfish species.
Jellyfish are not classified as a major food allergen under FDA regulations. However, individuals with fish or shellfish allergies—particularly those allergic to mollusks—may be at risk of experiencing allergic reactions to jellyfish. While jellyfish collagen is distinct from traditional fish and shellfish sources, allergy sensitivities can vary from person to person. If you have concerns, we always recommend consulting a healthcare professional before consuming or using jellyfish-based products.
Yes, our species has been harvested and enjoyed in Asian markets for over 30 years. The difference? We isolate its key ingredient—collagen—and transform it into a pure, versatile powder that goes far beyond food, delivering benefits across a range of application.
Georgia jellyfish have a relatively short life cycle, reaching maturity within 3 to 6 months and living approximately 6 to 9 months in their natural habitat.
Great question! While researchers often say yes, no comprehensive population studies have fully explored this in depth. What we do know is that jellyfish are highly adaptable to changing ocean conditions—like temperature, pH, and acidity. Because of their short lifespans and simpler biology, the leading hypothesis is that jellyfish can adapt more quickly than higher trophic level species such as cod and tuna.
As their life cycle reaches its final stage, many jellyfish naturally wash up on shore, marking the end of their journey in the ocean. Rather than letting these incredible creatures go to waste, our mission is to give them a new purpose through upcycling. By transforming them into valuable resources beneficial to humans, we not only reduce environmental impact but also turn what would be discarded into something meaningful. It’s about celebrating sustainability and making the most of nature’s gifts!
Jellyfish collagen is a powerful marine-derived ingredient known to support skin hydration, elasticity, and the reduction of visible wrinkles. By stimulating the natural production of collagen and elastin, it helps restore firmness and promote a smoother, more radiant complexion. Its natural antioxidant properties further support the skin’s defense against everyday environmental stressors, leaving it looking healthier and revitalized.
SimplySEA™ is a rich source of both essential and nonessential amino acids, setting it apart as a distinct and valuable form of marine collagen. Glycine is the predominant amino acid and has been detected in concentrations up to 48% higher than those found in traditional bovine collagen. Jellyfish collagen also contains notably high levels of hydroxylysine—one of the highest among known natural sources—differentiating it further from bovine and fish-based alternatives.
Additional amino acids such as glutamic acid, alanine, aspartic acid, proline, hydroxyproline, arginine, and threonine contribute to its distinct composition, supporting superior bioavailability and offering promising benefits for overall health and wellness.

SimplySEA™ delivers a highly advanced collagen profile, crafted through our proprietary, patent-pending process to yield a rich concentration of naturally low molecular weight peptides, targeting 2 kDa in size.
What makes our collagen stand out isn’t just size—it’s the naturally occurring breakdown characteristics of jellyfish collagen, which allow for efficient peptide formation without the need for extreme processing or harsh chemicals. The result is a cleaner, more sustainable approach that yields collagen peptides with enhanced bioavailability and functional potential—paving the way for more effective and eco-conscious formulations.
Great question! After years of jellyfish research, our team learned something pretty amazing— SimplySEA™ collagen is truly one of a kind. Because jellyfish are invertebrates, their collagen doesn’t follow the same naming rules “type I/II/III” you’ve probably seen. That makes it a fresh, exciting new source of skin-nourishing peptides you won’t find anywhere else.
What really sets SimplySEA™ apart is our proprietary, patent-pending process. We’ve carefully optimized it to produce low molecular weight peptides that are easier for your body to absorb—and it doesn’t stop there. Thanks to our unique method, the final product is not only cleaner and more effective—but also refreshingly subtle in scent, a noticeable improvement over earlier formulations. Plus, the distinct amino acid profile created during this process may support better bioavailability, helping you get more from every use!
