Who am I ?

Hi, I’m Marie.

I’m a pharmacist by training, a microbiome nerd by passion, and the founder of Gallinée – the first skincare brand designed to care not just for your skin, but for the bacteria living on it.

We got 4 patents, 20 products and billions of happy bacteria

After 10 amazing years growing Gallinée, being featured in Vogue, Elle, Glamour, and a few other places I still can’t quite believe, I felt like doing something a little different.

Enter Citizen Kelp.

It’s not a brand. It’s not a launch.
It’s more like… a journal. A space to post photos, write articles, and share thoughts on travel, science, bacteria, skincare, or whatever catches my curiosity that week.

This website will be evolving, just like the microbiome. Expect bacteria, beauty, and a bit of fun.
