MayLū

MayLū is a brand name for our personal care products. MayLū means “beautiful green”. It is inspired by the splendor of the United States Pacific Northwest where all our products are thoughtfully formulated and manufactured.  

MayLū Brand

MayLū brand covers personal care products formulated by AGAE Technologies, LLC in Corvallis, Oregon, USA. All MayLū products are based on innovative formulations using rhamnolipid(RL) and other green and non-toxic ingredients. These products have been carefully developed using AGAE’s proprietary advanced RL technologies. Under the brand MayLū, AGAE is initiating commercial-scale manufacturing and supply of its RL-formulated personal care products. 

The MayLū Story

Our founder Xihou Yin is a natural product scientist. Yin became very excited the first time he learned about rhamnolipid(RL) over a decade ago. The remarkable benefits for the environment and human use of this simple, natural product were so fascinating, that he set out immediately to find products made with it. To his amazement, he found no RL-containing personal care products anywhere in the world. It was at this point he decided he wanted to formulate beneficial, RL-based skincare products himself and introduce them to consumers everywhere.

The first immediate challenge was that there was no supply of RL for use in personal care products to be found. It was this realization that led him  to create a company, AGAE Technologies, dedicated to producing this useful and  badly needed natural ingredient. From there, he eventually went on to create a green-product skincare line, under the brand name MayLū, using only premium natural ingredients, including our hero ingredient, rhamnolipid. 

AGAE’s aim is to bring MayLū products to as many people as possible so they can personally experience the beauty and skin benefits of RL. Finding innovative ways to utilize RL to improve people’s daily lives has been the driving force behind AGAE’s research, development and discoveries. These endeavors have led to unique and practical RL technologies for both production and formulation, including the creation of the MayLū personal care product lines. 

Welcome to the MayLū family! We are excited as you join us in appreciating the luxurious feel and benefits of our rhamnolipid-based personal care products. 

Behind MayLū

Since its start in May 2011, AGAE’s scientific team has worked diligently to develop cost-effective and innovative ways to commercially manufacture and utilize rhamnolipid(RL). Driven by its mission to develop green solutions for human health and environmental problems, AGAE is focused on bringing this extraordinary natural cleansing and wetting/moisturizing ingredient to consumer markets in as many ways as possible. AGAE scientists firmly believe RL will eventually replace many of the toxic, petroleum-derived, and/or synthetic cleansing and wetting/moisturizing ingredients used in numerous everyday applications. AGAE is the world’s leading supplier of RL for both R&D and commercial use.  

More than a decade of persistent effort in research and development ultimately secured for AGAE its complete advanced proprietary set of manufacturing technologies for mass production of RL. Following this milestone achievement and a successful initial sales of its MayLū brand rhamnolipid-based personal care products at the 2018 Oregon State Fair, AGAE is now re-introducing MayLū personal care products to the market at full production scale.
