Why Earth's Cleanest Collagen™? What is SimplySEA™?
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 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. Minimal energy use and waste. That’s why we call it Earth’s Cleanest Collagen™.
What species of jellyfish do you use?
We use the cannonball jellyfish. A native Georgia jellyfish species.
Is jellyfish considered an allergen?
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.
Are these jellyfish safe to eat?
Yes, our species has been harvested and consumed 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 its powerful benefits across a range of applications.
How long do jellyfish typically live in the wild?
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.
Are jellyfish populations increasing?
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.
Why do I see jellyfish washed up on the beaches?
As their life cycle reaches its final stage, 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!
What are the skin benefits of jellyfish collagen?
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.

What are the predominant amino acids within SimplySEA™?
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.

What is the molecular weight of SimplySEA™?
SimplySEA™ delivers a highly advanced collagen profile, crafted through our proprietary process to yield a rich concentration of naturally low molecular weight peptides, targeting 2 kDa in size.
What makes our collagen stand out is its unique origin and processing. The natural structure of jellyfish collagen allows for the formation of small peptides without requiring extreme processing or harsh chemicals. This approach results in a cleaner, more sustainable product with enhanced bioavailability and functional potential, paving the way for more effective and eco-conscious formulations.
What type of collagen is present in SimplySEA™?
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 process. We’ve carefully optimized it to produce low molecular weight peptides that are easier for your body to absorb. Thanks to our unique method, the final product is cleaner, more effective, and refreshingly subtle in scent. Plus, the distinct amino acid profile may further support enhanced bioavailability, helping you get more from every use!
