Our Story: A Personal Quest for a Better Way

I'm Yun-Young Heo, founder of Marine Pad. As an engineer and entrepreneur, I kept asking: how could an industry serving billions still lack a truly sustainable, body-kind solution?

With a team of scientists, including Professor Yung-Bum Seo, we sought not an incremental tweak, but a genuine breakthrough. Could nature itself hold the answer?

"After years of research, we found it: chitin, the second most abundant biopolymer on Earth, found in crustacean shells."

Yun-Young Heo, Founder of Marine Pad

Introducing Marine Pad: Period Care Without Compromise

The world's first 100% biodegradable, marine-based super-absorbent pad that doesn't make you choose between performance and planet.

Super-Absorbent

The Bio-SA core draws in and locks away fluid—keeping you dry, confident, and secure.

Body-Safe by Design

100% organic-cotton top sheet. ZERO chemical SAP, added fragrances, or unnecessary additives.

Planet-Forward

From pad to wrapper, designed to be 100% biodegradable, returning to nature without a trace.

How Bio-SA Works

Bio-SA's nano-fibers wick fluid fast into a capillary network and hold it evenly, so you feel drier with less bulk—without brittle gels.

Top: Certified organic cotton

Gentle on sensitive skin

Core: Bio-SA marine nano-fiber

Revolutionary absorbent technology

Back & wrapper: Biodegradable films

Complete environmental responsibility

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Marine Pad compostable at home?

Conditions vary; industrial or community composting works best. Third-party testing is underway to provide specific home composting guidelines.

Any seafood allergens?

Chitin is highly purified and does not retain food proteins; final products do not contain shellfish meat. If you have severe allergies, consult your physician.

Odor control without fragrances?

The Bio-SA structure and breathable design help reduce moisture and odor without masking scents or adding potentially irritating fragrances.
