From the premise that fish and plant life have been longtime protected from sun's harmful UV rays, and that these UV-absorbing compounds jave been known for some time to be effective, no means had previously existed whereby economically to produce these compounds for human use. Initially funded by VertueLab - a climate impact accelerator- Gadusol personnel are now employing these compounds: natural, innovative sunscreen ingredients that are sustainably sourced, environmentally safe, provide supplemental skin/health benefits, and offer protection against both UV-A and UV-B rays. In mid-July 2022, it was announced that for an undisclosed amount Gadusol Laboratories had been acquired by Boston-based Arcaea, a beauty industry firm.
