  • "A Match Made in Maine" Holiday Bundles Are Here!

Inspired by our mutual love of the Pine Tree State and an appreciation of Maine resourcefulness and practicality, these giftable bundles are perfect for the holiday season!

Limited-edition sticker sheets included in every bundle!

Together, our teams pulled some of our favorite components from our extensive vintage cover collection to decorate this special packaging and sticker sheet.

Mainers are known for their ingenuity, a characteristic that has helped the state’s heritage industries like lobstering prevail in a changing world. They are hardworking people, who look for solutions to everyday challenges in the environment that surrounds them. Amber Boutiette and Patrick Breeding, founders of Marin Skincare, discovered a sustainable way to repair dry and damaged skin while studying biomedical engineering at the University of Maine. Their secret ingredient? The protein that allows lobsters to regenerate limbs. Now, customers in all 50 states are treating their skin with hydration cream and lip balms made with glycoproteins, a byproduct of the lobster industry that previously went down the drain. Their success is just one example of the enduring resourcefulness that defines Maine’s people — a story Down East has proudly showcased since 1954 and is thrilled to support with these limited-edition bundles designed using nostalgic illustrations from the Magazine of Maine.

More About Amber & Patrick

As biomedical engineering students at the University of Maine, Amber Boutiette and Patrick Breeding figured out that the same protein that allows lobsters to regenerate limbs could also help repair skin. Working with a lobster scientist, they DIY’d a skin lotion using the protein, and convinced Amber, who suffered from eczema, to try the cream. Within two weeks, the painful condition she had lived with for her entire life was cleared, so the duo  started a mission to help others find the same relief from dry, damaged and upset skin.
