Episode 11: Amber & Patrick - Marin Skincare

In this episode we'll be talking with Amber and Patrick from Marin Skincare. Their company has just released a new and very unique skincare product that helps with dryness and irritation using a byproduct from lobsters! We'll discuss how they got started with their company, challenges they've faced, their inspiration, and how success can be very personal.

 

ABOUT OUR GUEST:

Patrick and Amber are recent UMaine biomedical engineering grads that co-founded Marin Skincare. Marin creates gentle and effective skincare products for people with eczema, psoriasis and dry skin, using a glycoprotein found in lobster as the key ingredient. While in grad school, they teamed up with lobster scientists to discover this glycoprotein, which they formulated in a skincare product and used to calm Amber’s eczema flareups. After discovering this, they founded Marin to bring this relief to people like Amber that suffer from any type of dry, aggravated skin issue. After over a year of developing their first product with professional skincare laboratories, partnering with Luke’s Lobster to find a sustainable way to source the protein, and navigating the challenges of manufacturing during COVID, they JUST launched their first product this month (October, 2020) called their Soothing Hydration Cream. The product helps calm dry, aggravated skin for face, hands and body.
