CATARINA BARBOSA SKINCARE
About the Founder
Catarina barbosa
"Catarina Barbosa Skincare was born from my desire to create something honest and beautiful — skincare that respects the skin, honours nature, and turns daily care into a moment of calm and connection. To me, skincare is a form of welfare, helping women feel confident in their own skin. Because women support women — that's exactly why I created this line"
With a background in chemical engineering and a deep passion for skincare, Catarina Barbosa set out to explore the art of cosmetic formulation. Inspired by the power of natural ingredients and guided by science, she began creating thoughtful, effective skincare rooted in both tradition and innovation.
Each formula is a tribute to the strength and grace of women everywhere — especially the Greatest Portuguese Women who continue to inspire her work.
Focused on a local and handmade formula, Catarina Barbosa is based upon a fine, organic and mature femininity.
A gentle, conscious finess.
Award-winning skincare celebrating heritage-inspired and mindful women.
Catarina is clean, feminine, familiar.
Catarina is intimate.
Each formulation is carefully developed and crafted in an in-house laboratory located in Vila Nova de Milfontes, embodying a deep commitment to quality and precision.
