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.
What We Stand Behind
-
Every ingredient in Mugz was evaluated with one question in mind: would we use this on our own kids? If the answer wasn't an immediate yes, it didn't make the cut. Simple as that.
-
No harsh chemicals. No heavy fragrance. No ingredients that exist to cut costs rather than serve the person using the product. Clean, effective, and nothing more than what's needed to do the job right.
-
Mugz wasn't developed in a boardroom. It was tested on baseball diamonds, at flag football games, and after long beach days with boogie boards and sunscreen-covered kids who had somewhere to be. Real conditions. Real families. Real results.
