Dewy vs Matte: Which Finish Actually Ages You?
It's the question that quietly sits behind half the foundation decisions women make after 40: does my makeup make me look older than I am? The short answer is that...

Beauty is Broken
The 10-Step Routine Is Over.
You were sold ten steps and told it was self-care. It is a shopping list. Your keeping the receipts - and the dermatologists have been reading them. The Evidence - Five findings the industry would rather you skipped.
- 91.6 % of dermatologists surveyed are concern about the multi-step routine itself. Not about a bad product. About the format.
- 88.1% regularly treat skin that was damaged by skincare. These are not rare reactions. They have names, and dermatologists see them every week. Irritant eczema 69.6% · Perioral dermatitis 53.0% · Allergic contact dermatitis 52.4%.
- 12.5% -one in eight- actually recommend a multi-step routine. Asked what they do recommend, the consensus was three steps for women. Two for men.
Your preservatives do not only kill what is bad.
Testing eleven preservatives systems against resident skin bacteria found that some combinations suppress Staphylococcus epidermis - the organism that lives on healthy skin and defends it. More products means more preservative load. Every single day.
And now is the children.
Retinol, exfoliating acids and vitamin C are being sold to ten-year olds through viral routines. Dermatologists reviewing the tren found these ingredients have never been tested in children - and documented redness, irritation, sun sensitivity and dermatitis in them. They are the first generation to damage a skin barrier before secondary school.
The Answer - We call them Cocktails.
Formulation - Many ingredients, one step
Frequency - Morning and night
Who - Men and women. Any Age.
Rule - Every product does more than one thing
Standard - Formulated to the European one
- A cocktail is not a shortcut. It is the drawer to build a product - many ingredients that have to work together in a single step, for all skins, twice a day, for years.
- Our makeup is built on the same rule: skincare built in, formulated to work on the skin while it wears rather than sit on top of it. At a certain age that stops being a bonus and becomes the requirement.
- And we formulate to the European standard rather than the American One. In Europe, a qualified assessor signs off on a formula before it is allowed to reach you. Is is the harder rule to meet.
The skin is the largest organ in your body. An this industry treats it like a vending machine.

Our Canvas and Brainstorming Venue
Perched atop a historic fortress originally built to guard the Bay of Palma, Cap Rocat represents a triumph of restoration and architectural brilliance. Transforming this remarkable structure into a luxury hotel was no small feat, especially while adhering to the strict regulations of a building declared a Cultural Heritage Site.
Nestled within a Protected Natural Area, Cap Rocat seamlessly blends into its breathtaking surroundings. Every detail of its transformation was meticulously overseen by Antonio Obrador.
2023-2024
Brewing Behind the Scenes
The journey to creating our first makeup collection, Palma D’Or, began with one crucial step: identifying top-tier manufacturers that meet the highest global quality certifications.
From production lines to packaging selection, legal meetings on quality standards, beauty trade shows, travels, and endless late nights of hard work—all while continuing my profession as a lawyer. A profession that has been essential in building both our company and our brand.
