Our history
Dermocosmetics at your service
Since the 1980s,
Ana Fridda Dorsch broke barriers by successfully balancing her role as a mother of eight children with her dedication to studying Natural Medicine, driven by her determination to find a solution to the premature aging she was experiencing as a result of a rare autoimmune disease.
Her passion for research, combined with her relentless commitment to improving her skin, led her to become the first Spanish woman to earn a doctorate from the American University of Natural Medicine in Florida, marking a significant milestone in both her career and the field of Natural Medicine.
A story of overcoming adversity
1960-1980
In the 1980s, Ana Fridda Dorsch began searching for a solution to overcome the adverse effects that a rare disease was having on her skin. A personal struggle that, over time, would turn into a valuable discovery for thousands of people.
'IF I CAN SOLVE MY PROBLEM, I CAN SOLVE THE PROBLEMS OF MANY MORE PEOPLE'
Drawing on her own experience as a patient, Fridda decided to combine the best of traditional medicine with the remarkable discoveries she had made about natural ingredients with proven efficacy, such as Aloe vera and algae, which played a key role in alleviating the effects of her disease.
Without even realizing it, she became a pioneer of "CLEAN INGREDIENTS," setting a new standard in natural and safe cosmetics.
Initial Discoveries and PhD
1980S
Fridda became the first Spanish woman to earn a doctorate in Natural Medicine from the University of Florida, opening her first laboratory, where she developed her earliest formulas using natural and organic active ingredients. Among these, Aloe vera stood out for its regenerative and moisturizing properties, which were still largely unknown at the time, alongside licorice extract for its depigmenting properties.
Farma Dorsch was built on empathy, driven by an insatiable curiosity to learn more and more about the skin and its care, a passion for the latest scientific advances, and a firm belief in the power of natural active ingredients to improve people's health. It was founded on a commitment to excellence, the highest personal standards, and a deep respect for the environment around us.
Innovation in Sun Protection and Clean Beauty

Farma Dorsch’s product range continues to expand across all categories, standing out through the incorporation of UV filters, encapsulated vitamins, and airless packaging that ensures product stability. These products are rooted in nature, science, and green biotechnology, combining efficacy with respect for both the skin and the environment.
The expertise, distinctive character, and principles that form the very soul of the brand remain as relevant today as ever, providing consumers with a lasting guarantee of quality and trust. Driven by conviction, dedication, and commitment.
