Meet oogiebear: Innovating Baby Breathing Care with Heart and Science.

How We Started

In 2004, Dr. Nina Farzin Pharm D., a dynamic CEO and experienced pharmacist, initiated the concept of oogiebear, a revolutionary tool designed for effectively managing nasal congestion and ear blockages in newborns. As a mother of three, Farzin's journey was inspired by her struggles with her daughter’s persistent nasal congestion and similar challenges faced by her nephew. She aimed to craft a safe and gentle solution that would simplify the process of removing boogers and ear wax in infants.

After years of meticulous research and development, Farzin introduced the Oogiebear booger picker. The baby booger picker not only ensures clean nasal passages but also addresses ear wax concerns safely. By 2010, the product had passed all safety and efficacy tests, leading to the finalization of its prototype. In 2013, the product was fully packaged and ready for market, promising to ease symptoms of infant congestion primarily during the night and help parents manage common issues like wet and hard dry boogers.

The oogiebear booger picker, as featured on ABC’s Shark Tank, has become a staple in newborn care, known for its effectiveness in clearing stuffy noses and facilitating better breathing. It’s especially useful in environments that benefit from steam showers for infants, which can help alleviate congestion. The product is essential for maintaining infant nasal hygiene, and it’s often paired with saline drops to soften hard boogers, making the cleaning process as painless as possible.

Farzin’s invention has not only innovated the way parents care for their infants during seasonal allergy seasons but has also brought peace of mind to many by ensuring their little ones can breathe easier and rest better year-round.

we got a deal on Shark Tank!

After personally experiencing the genius nature of the products and seeing the company’s meteoric rise, ABC’s Shark Tank producers reached out to Farzin about appearing on the show. She appeared, along with her supportive husband and family, on Season 14 in September 2022, during the show’s first ever live episode. Farzin and oogiebear were a huge hit, resulting in a lucrative investment deal with shark Barbara Corcoran.
