Ann Marie and Mike Einziger, a couple with a background in science, made a revolutionary discovery in the realm of skincare nearly seven years ago. The two, who are also musicians, found a naturally occurring molecule on the skin that sparked their interest. Inspired by Ann Marie’s own struggles with hyperpigmentation and patches of lighter skin, they stumbled upon a powerful antioxidant ingredient called malassezin. This ingredient is 10 times more potent than Vitamin C, making it a key component in products from their brand, Mother Science.
Mother Science was launched a year ago with the Molecular Hero Serum and has since added the Retinol Synergist to its product lineup. Mike and Ann Marie visited Billboard News to discuss their groundbreaking discovery and how it is revolutionizing the skincare industry through their innovative products.
Throughout the development of their products and brand, Mike would often wake Ann Marie up in the middle of the night with new ideas or discoveries. Their shared curiosity and drive for innovation, whether in science or music – Mike as Incubus guitarist and Ann Marie as a violinist collaborating with Hans Zimmer – has always been a driving force for them.
In addition to talking about the benefits of Mother Science products and how they have seen improvements in their own skin, Mike also shared that he is currently working on a new studio album with Incubus. To learn more about their journey and shop their products, watch the full interview above.
