We didn't set out to start a company. We just wanted cleanup to stop ending in tears.

It Started on the Sideline.

For years, the toughest part of game day wasn't the game. It was the cleanup. Eye black that wouldn't budge. Zinc sunscreen caked along the hairline. The more we scrubbed, the more it hurt — and the more it hurt, the louder things got. What should have been a proud moment after a great game kept turning into a stressful, tearful ordeal that nobody wanted.

We tried everything. Baby wipes. Makeup remover. Plain soap. Nothing worked well, and most of it stung. We kept thinking — someone must make something for this. When we finally realized nobody did, we decided to make it ourselves.

If you've ever stood in a parking lot after a Friday night game trying to scrub eye black off a seven-year-old's face with a baby wipe while they cry — you already know why we started Mugz.

We're the Tubbs family and the Lu family. Our kids go to school together, play baseball and flag football together, and spend summers at the beach together. We've cheered on the same sidelines, sat in the same church pews, and shared more post-game snacks than we can count.
