oogiebear was conceptually born in 2004, when CEO Nina Farzin, a brilliant pharmacist and mom of three, began developing a gentle solution for clearing babies’ sensitive noses and ears. This stemmed from her personal experience dealing with nasal congestion in her own baby daughter and later in her nephew. After many iterations, research and development and testing to ensure perfect safety, in 2010 her first official prototype of the Booger Picker was ready, with packaging completed in 2013.
