Skincare, but make it science. Dr. Barbara Sturm has redefined the beauty space with a medical-meets-minimalist approach that prioritizes skin health over trends. Rooted in anti-inflammatory science, her namesake brand emerged from her background in orthopedics, where she developed groundbreaking treatments before translating those principles into skincare. The result? A line of products that work with the skin—never against it—by focusing on healing, hydration, and barrier protection.
Launched in 2014, Dr. Barbara Sturm’s Molecular Cosmetics stripped skincare back to the essentials: powerful, effective ingredients without unnecessary additives. No fragrance, no aggressive acids—just formulations designed to calm, strengthen, and nourish all skin types. The brand’s cult-favorite Face Cream, signature Hyaluronic Serum, and science-backed supplements have earned their place on top shelves everywhere, trusted by beauty insiders and dermatologists alike.
More than a product line, Dr. Barbara Sturm is a philosophy: skincare as self-care, guided by science and built for longevity. With boutiques in beauty capitals like New York, London, and Los Angeles, the brand has cemented itself as a go-to for those who take their skincare seriously. From luxury facials to a growing range of targeted treatments, Dr. Barbara Sturm continues to shape the conversation around modern beauty—one meticulously formulated product at a time.
