Interview with Carme Balsells
Co-founder AquaMare Skincare
How did the idea for AquaMare Skincare come about?
It all started with the desire to create an honest and high-quality product.
My son and I share a passion for cosmetics and wanted to develop a brand that reflected our understanding of beauty: natural, transparent and connected with the Mediterranean.
In fact, we had already been using the AquaSerum formula at home for some time—family and friends told us they loved it!—and it was that
It was this enthusiasm that encouraged us to take a further step and produce it in a professional laboratory so that it could reach more people.
Why the name “AquaMare”?
Because it encapsulates everything we are. “Aqua” represents life and purity. “Mare” refers both to the Mediterranean Sea and to the maternal figure, to our origins. We felt it was a beautiful way to give the brand a soul.
How would you define AquaMare in three words?
Authenticity, balance, and light. We want to convey the feeling of calm and well-being that one experiences by the sea.
What makes AquaSerum different from other products on the market?
It's a treatment with a very light texture but surprising effectiveness. It deeply hydrates, firms, and protects the skin with a powerful antioxidant action. Furthermore, it's a unisex product, suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive or reactive.
What are the key ingredients of the formula?
- Marine collagen , which improves firmness and elasticity.
- Peptides , which stimulate the natural production of collagen.
- Snail mucin , with great regenerative and repairing power.
- Rosemary , with a purifying and antioxidant effect.
- Hyaluronic acid , which deeply moisturizes and keeps skin soft.
- Ectoin , a biotechnological active ingredient that protects against environmental stress and strengthens the natural barrier.
- Niacinamide (vitamin B3) , which improves tone and texture.
- Elastin , which helps maintain firmness and elasticity.
All these ingredients work in synergy to leave the skin smoother, more hydrated, luminous and visibly revitalized.
What changes do people who use AquaSerum notice in their skin?
AquaSerum provides deep and long-lasting hydration, improving firmness and elasticity thanks to the combined action of marine collagen, peptides and elastin.
Its fresh, lightweight gel texture absorbs quickly, restoring the skin's natural softness and vitality. With continued use, skin appears brighter, more even-toned, and revitalized.
What type of skin can use it?
For everyone. This product is designed for women and men of all ages. It adapts well to all skin types, balancing them and restoring the face's natural vitality. It's perfect for those seeking a firming effect without complications.
How do you recommend applying it?
Apply a small amount to clean, slightly damp skin morning and night. It absorbs quickly, leaving skin feeling fresh and soft.
In summer it can replace moisturizer, and in winter it can be used as a base before your usual cream.
What role does design play in AquaMare's philosophy?
For us, the packaging is also part of the experience. The AquaSerum bottle is made of violet glass to protect the formula and convey a sense of timeless elegance. Every detail is designed to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Where does the Mediterranean inspiration surrounding the brand come from?
From our lifestyle. From the sun, the sea, and the aromas of plants like rosemary. The Mediterranean is simplicity, but also strength and vitality. We wanted to capture all of that in the product, from the design to the formula.
