Meet Jamie Ortiz | Sunscreen

We had the good fortune of connecting with Jamie Ortiz and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jamie, what do you attribute your success to?
The most important factor to the success of the brand is authenticity. Espieve mineral sunscreen was created with my son in mind. I couldn’t find a sunscreen that went on easily or didn’t turn the skin white. I wanted something chemical free and good for the skin. Staying true to those beliefs and what I wanted in a sunscreen has really helped us become successful.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Espieve mineral sunscreen is formulated with ingredients that are light and soft, leaving the skin feeling hydrated and moisturized, without leaving a white film on your skin.

We are excited about the launch of our spray sunscreen. Espieve spray sunscreen is a sheer light weight spray that is enriched with vitamin E to hydrate and tone the body. The product is free of harsh chemicals such as parabens, sulfates, and dyes. This milky spray offers broad spectrum protection and is gentle enough for daily use.

There have been many setbacks along the way from naming the product, to trademarking, formulating countless times until the product was approved by the FDA. Everything has taught me to never give up and to trust the universe. When you have a big idea keep pushing yourself to see it through.

Espieve was created with children in mind. Especially those with sensitive skin. All of our products are chemical free, reef friendly, go on quick and feel great on the skin. We want moms to feel good about putting it on their babies. We want those that love the ocean to know that our sunscreen won’t harm the precious coral reefs.

We want you to use it, love it and share it.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Seeing as we are a sunscreen company we would have to hit the local beach’s. Huntington Beach has so much to offer. We love Pacific City and dog beach. We would have to hit Offshore roof top lounge at the Hilton Waterfront. Take a cruise down to Corona Del Mar and Laguna Beach for the cool boutique shopping and art galleries. Maybe take a boat ride over to Catalina Island for the day.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Yes, Lori Crete and the beauty biz club. Lori has been my mentor for over 10 years and with the guidance and mentorship I’m not sure I would have pursued my dream of creating a sunscreen.
