NOT SURE WHERE TO START?

If you are new to Dr. Sturm and don’t know which products to start with, we recommend the following three essentials that work for every skin type.
"PROTECT YOUR SKIN AND IT WILL PROTECT YOU BACK"
– DR. BARBARA STURM
WE ARE MOLECULAR
A COMMISSIONED SHORT FILM BY DR. BARBARA STURM IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE ROYAL BALLET
WHAT DOES MOLECULAR MEAN?
"The ethos of my brand is to respect and heal the skin, not attack it with harsh ingredients and short-term solutions. This philosophy extends to respecting not just ourselves but also each other. I want to promote a message of love, respect, and healing. We Are Molecular reminds us that we are all connected - we all have a similar cellular complex, made of trillions of molecules that define our bodies. My mission is to encourage everyone to be kind to your skin, to yourself and to others. The key to healing is to reduce inflammation in the body and the skin, protect the skin barrier and activate the skin from within."
– DR. BARBARA STURM
SHOP BY CATEGORY
Purposely different from the archetypal beauty narrative, the 90 second modern dance piece “We Are Molecular”, choregraphed by and featuring The Royal Ballet Principal dancer, Marcelino Sambé, is an abstract exploration of the potent ability of the human body and the amplification of this power when one body supports another with respect, love and kindness.
With the contextual backdrop of a global pandemic where opportunity for human connectivity and touch has been diminished, Dr. Barbara Sturm explores Face, Body, and Hair, with diversity and representation being key. Focus is given to interaction and motion with the aim to encourage universal connectivity from a cellular, molecular level through to physical human touch.
"Over the years, I have been fortunate enough to experience many Royal Ballet performances at the Royal Opera House. I have a deep admiration for these world class dancers - the way they express themselves through movement, train like athletes and have an incredible dedication to their art form. Aside from being one of the most beautiful art forms, ballet, like all dance, has many anti-inflammatory benefits for both the performer and the audience: the movement releases inflammation reducing hormones in the body and as a viewer, the joy of watching a performance can reduce stress-inducing cortisol levels and heighten serotonin levels which can control inflammation in the body. I want to use my platform to not only showcase the amazing talents of the Royal Ballet dancers, but also to supports the arts and the incredibly important work of The Royal Opera House.”
