ABOUT
The Octacle Story
Octacle was born from the need to find natural and eco conscious alternatives in the diving industry. Starting with developing an open cell wetsuit lubricant that wasn't harmful to the ocean, the skin or the suit. No need to use surfactants, lather up, or leaving a slick behind.
After finding there were no natural options for lubing up, months of researching natural slimy substances, mixing, trialing and testing ensued. The magic of seaweed held the answer…
