MartiDerm is a pioneering Spanish dermocosmetics company renowned for revolutionizing skincare through its specialized medical-grade formulas and innovative packaging. Founded in 1952 in a small pharmacy in central Barcelona, the family-owned business has grown into an international benchmark for anti-aging and skin health treatments. Core Identity and Philosophy Magistral Roots: The company originated with pharmacist Josep Martí Tor, who collaborated with dermatologists to develop personalized compounding formulas for complex skin cases. Smart Aging: In contrast to traditional "anti-aging" approaches, MartiDerm follows a Smart Aging philosophy, which treats time as an ally rather than an enemy and focuses on maintaining skin health across all life stages. The "Formula": The brand's cornerstone is "La Fórmula," a unique combination of proteoglycans and pure Vitamin C designed to regenerate skin and prevent oxidation. Innovative Contributions Pioneering Ampoules: In 1989, MartiDerm became the first to use the topaz glass ampoule format for cosmetics. This medical-grade packaging was chosen to protect pure Vitamin C from light and air, preventing premature oxidation and ensuring maximum efficacy. Proprietary Ingredients: The company developed Proteum 89+, an exclusive, smaller-sized proteoglycan that offers four times more firming power than standard versions due to its superior skin penetration. Business and Operations Global Presence: MartiDerm products are commercialized in over 30 to 45 countries. In 2019, the brand expanded its reach into the United States. Production Facilities: Based in Cervelló, Barcelona, the company's modern laboratory and production plant trippled its capacity after moving from its original smaller facility. Key Statistics: Revenue: Approximately $57.9 million. Workforce: Between 201 and 500 employees. Sales Volume: Over 180,000 ampoules are sold daily worldwide. Product Portfolio: Offers a broad range of over 70 products including serums, creams, hair treatments (Hair System), and sun care. Sustainability and Social Responsibility (CSR) MartiDerm integrates social and environmental ethics into its DNA through three pillars: Environmental Commitment: Its facilities run on 50% renewable energy (solar, aerothermal, and geothermal). The company recently implemented a circular economy system to reduce internal plastic protection to zero. Solidarity Products: 100% of profits from its Intensive Hand Cream are donated to social projects, specifically helping elderly people through skincare packs and training. Inclusion: The company is dedicated to providing employment opportunities for people with disabilities at its production plant. Global Projects: MartiDerm collaborates with the Piel Sana Foundation on the Stop Sarna project to eradicate scabies in Malawi.
