About Patti

Patti boasts an illustrious beauty background, having launched over 400 products for lauded brands such as Avon, Elizabeth Arden, Guerlain and Peter Thomas Roth. She has been at the forefront of revolutionary product developments, having recognized the power of glycolic acid and acquiring the exclusive rights to commercialize it before most beauty insiders discovered its benefits.

A true pioneer in skincare, Patti recognized an unmet consumer need for gentler anti-aging products that deliver real results. She did so in an unlikely manner. Reluctantly participating in a hike through the pure fjords of western Norway, Patti landed herself on a tour of the country's largest salmon hatchery. She became transfixed by the hatchery workers' hands; while their faces betrayed their true ages, their hands looked much younger. Because the workers' hands were consistently submerged in water, Patti knew where to look for their secret.

It was hidden in the post-hatching water. All Restorsea products are anchored by a hatching enzyme released by salmon at the time of hatching. This enzyme dissolves the egg shell membrane, creating an opening, enabling the salmon fry to swim through unharmed. The reason why the workers’ hands looked so good was because the enzyme, when exposed to human skin, only dissolved the dead skin cells leaving the living cells untouched. Their hands received the benefits of continuous exfoliation without any irritation or thinning skin.

Patti realized the opportunity to create an anti-aging skincare line better than anything she had created before. Why? By dissolving only dead skin, Aquabeautine XL®* provides the same benefits as other leading anti-aging products, without the harsh side effects.

Patti quickly secured patents to be able to formulate with this hatching enzyme in beauty products.

Patti received her MBA from the Harvard Business School and her undergraduate degree from UC Berkeley, where she graduated summa cum laude. She currently lives in Houston, Texas with her mom, Joanne. We invite you to visit their social media pages: Instagram: pattipao1 Tiktok: pattiandjoanne.
