THE MACROLIPID COMPLEX™

A proprietary marine concentrate engineered to replenish moisture, reinforce the skin barrier, and support skin resilience in the sun.

At the heart of every Neptune Ave. sunscreen is the Macrolipid Complex™—our signature blend of Pacific seaweeds, skin-identical ceramides, and nutrient-rich sea buckthorn oil.

Drawing inspiration from California's giant kelp forests, the complex combines moisture-binding marine polysaccharides with barrier-supporting lipids to leave skin feeling hydrated, comfortable, and resilient.
