Mom Leaves Pharmaceutical Executive Position to Become Booger Boss

Rockville, MD – June 30, 2015 – All moms have experienced the issue of dealing with a fussy, cranky baby with a stuffy nose. Until recently, the only solutions available were bulb syringes and nasal aspirators that suck out baby’s boogers. The problem with this is that they only work for wet mucus and they also often push the mucus further into the nose so it is harder to reach and more uncomfortable for baby. After rocking her babies to sleep with their stuffed up noses time and time again, one mom of three (and pharmacist) had an idea to solve this common parenting problem and finally help her little ones breathe comfortably and sleep soundly. Nina Farzin’s simple yet genius tool called oogiebear is now known as the better booger tool all moms need and want.

“Unlike many entrepreneurs, I did not plan or set out to start my own business. In fact, I was a career professional, loving wife and mother who, like today's woman, was striving to master life's balancing act. But it was this balancing act that actually inspired the creation of oogiebear,” shares Nina Farzin, mom of three, pharmacist, and inventor of oogiebear.

As a mother of three, Nina had dealt with her fair share of cold and flu seasons and little ones with stuffed up noses. She realized that all infant/baby nasal-cleaning devices currently on the market work via suction. Wet mucus can easily be suctioned out, but there was nothing to help get the dry, crusty boogers out and safely reach inside baby’s tiny nostrils.

It was disheartening for Nina to see her children suffer through their discomfort when she knew the cause but had no tool to help.

“With nothing available, I saw the need to come up with a gentler, safer, cleaner and more effective way to get the boogers out. oogiebear was designed with the health and safety of my own children in mind and I'm excited to share this tool with other parents who want to make sure their kids are as comfortable as they can be in times of need. oogiebear is a ‘TRUE’ booger tool. It does what it says! The ability to clean little ears with this tool was an added feature that addressed another true need and also allowed caregivers to safely clean little ones' ears without the fear of inserting the tool too far,” shares Farzin.

The oogiebear is a tool with two sides, a loop-end perfect for sticky mucus and a scoop end for safely removing dried mucus. This revolutionary tool is made of soft rubber that's easy for a parent to hold and gentle enough for baby. The patent-pending bear-head design is both fun and safe—preventing the oogiebear from going too far into baby's nose.
