Dear friends and everyone who doesn’t know me yet,

My name is Melissa Zicchino, and I am the founder of LisaMar® – Mediterranean natural skincare made in Spain.

Growing up between Germany and Italy, my childhood was a dance between nature, scents, and the colors of the Mediterranean. But it wasn’t until I moved to Spain that I truly realized how deeply this lifestyle had shaped me: the warmth of the sun, the aroma of herbs, the sea – all of it awakened a desire to rethink skincare.

This is how LisaMar® was born – from the belief that skincare should be simple, honest, and in harmony with nature. Inspired by the Mediterranean way of life, which stands for mindfulness, quality, and balance.

From Idea to Brand

After more than two years of intensive product development, additional studies, many challenges, and my first year on the market, I can proudly say: LisaMar® is loved, used, and recommended. Many of my customers return – and that is exactly what gives me the confidence to take the next step.

My first skincare line, “Linea Mediterranea,” consists of four products with Mediterranean active ingredients, made in Spain:

1. Cleansing foam with chamomile and aloe vera

2. Face cream rich in antioxidants such as olive, almond, and grapeseed oil

3. Serum– a moisture booster with orange stem cells

4.Eye cream against dark circles and puffiness with the patented active ingredient Eye’fective

✔ organic

✔ vegan

✔ certified

✔ sustainably & socially produced

Produced in small batches to ensure the highest quality and freshness.

My Founder’s Journey

I invested all of my personal savings into LisaMar® – into development, trademark rights, certifications, production, and visibility.

I have learned an incredible amount, grown personally, and faced one of my biggest challenges: becoming visible.

I openly share my journey on Instagram – with all the ups and downs – because honesty matters to me, and because I want to show what it truly means to build a brand from scratch.

LisaMar® is not a perfect startup.

LisaMar® is real.

My Vision

With LisaMar®, I want to build a brand that is not based on trends, but on trust. A skincare line that is minimal, effective, and respectful of the skin.

Organic, vegan, certified – and consciously produced in small batches.

My vision is to grow LisaMar® sustainably, without compromising on quality, ethics, or philosophy.

With every product, I want to create moments:

a small ray of sunshine on your skin,

pure freshness in the morning,

a calming ritual in the evening.

Because for me, beauty is not just what is visible – it begins within, with mindfulness and responsibility.

Where We Stand Today – Transparency Matters

The first production batch of my products is valid until July 2026.

The next step is now crucial: the second production batch, to continue and grow LisaMar®.

A Major Milestone

My manufacturing partner believes in my vision and has reduced the minimum order quantity for the second batch. This is not something to be taken for granted – it is a true sign of trust.

Because we use only high-quality, sensitive raw materials, our products do not have unlimited shelf life. To conserve resources and work sustainably, we intentionally produce smaller quantities. This means higher unit costs – but it ensures quality, freshness, and responsibility.

My Goal With This Campaign

With this GoFundMe campaign, I want to realize the second production batch of my LisaMar® products.

Demand is growing – and to continue delivering, I need support for the next step.

Your support helps me remain independent, produce fairly, and continue building LisaMar® step by step.

How the Donations Will Be Used

All funds will be used transparently for:

1. Production of the second batch (raw materials, manufacturing, filling, labeling, microbiological testing, and transport):

sample sets, serum 30 ml, face cream 50 ml, eye cream 20 ml, cleansing foam 100 ml

2. Professional cabin products for beauty studios larger sizes for professional use: 100 ml each for face cream, eye cream, and serum, and 200 ml for the cleansing foam

3. Storage and logistics to the end customer

4. Stability testing to scientifically test and confirm a shelf life of 24 or 30 months

5. Agency costs for SEO and SEA to increase brand visibility

Cost estimates are available for all of these points.

Why Your Support Means So Much

You are not just supporting a product –

you are supporting a vision, a founder, and an honest brand.

LisaMar® is not a large company.

It is a heartfelt project, built with courage, continuous learning, and deep commitment.

With your support, you help me:

✔ remain independent

✔ produce fairly

✔ continue building a conscious, Mediterranean natural skincare brand

Thank you for seeing my vision.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

From the bottom of my heart,

Melissa

Founder of LisaMar® – Mediterranean Natural Skincare
