Entrepreneurial, scientific, and solution-oriented, Áine Kapell and Ann Guerrera are committed to creating an anti-aging solution for women just like them—those who want to use all-natural products to help them look as young and healthy as they feel.

Our friendship began 15 years ago when we met at a Connecticut high school where we were both members of the chemistry faculty. Quickly, we recognized our many similarities: We both have prior careers as research chemists, we’re enthusiastic about educating the youth, and we’re focused on a healthy living lifestyle.

As women of a certain age, we were observing subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs of aging in our skin. We shared about how using topical “anti-aging” products wasn’t effective, which encouraged us to research the science behind aging skin and what could be done to slow the process.

Passionate Chemists Creating a Scientific Solution

Through our research, we discovered that certain nutrients when taken orally replenish the body with the building blocks needed to maintain healthy, youthful skin. Ingesting these nutrients makes them bioavailable on the cellular level.

Supported by our intensive research, we carefully selected the most beneficial substances to create our beauty drink supplement and spent a couple of years testing and perfecting our solution. Using the solution, we had seen improvement in our own skin but needed honest feedback from others, so we shared it with family and friends. The positive response was overwhelming and gave us the confidence to continue building our business.

Why create a solution? In the field of science, a solution is defined as “a homogenous mixture of two or more substances.” In non-scientific terms, a solution is “a means of solving a problem or dealing with a difficult situation.” In short, our solution is a solution! 

Encouraging STEM Education

“I tell young people: Do not think of yourself, think of others. Think of the future that awaits you, think about what you can do, and do not fear anything."                -Rita Levi-Montalcini, Italian neurologist and Nobel Prize winner in Physiology

As two female high school chemistry teachers, we’re passionate about science education and gender equality in scientific careers. We strongly feel that female presence in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) programs needs to have greater representation. Our goal is to encourage and enable female high school students to pursue a career in science.

We’re donating 1% of all purchases toward an annual scholarship for a female high school senior who plans to study the field of science in college. In the future, we hope to explore other avenues to facilitate young women entering the field of science.
