La Bottega, the founding company of La Bottega Collective has announced a landmark licensing partnership with Dr. Barbara Sturm, the globally renowned doctor, aesthetics expert, and pioneer of anti-inflammatory skincare.
The company said, “Dr. Sturm’s clinically driven, anti-inflammatory philosophy (long trusted by leading physicians, celebrities, and patients worldwide) has been interpreted into the world’s first fragrance-free, high-performance hotel essentials line, setting a new skincare standard for hospitality.
“Honouring Dr. Sturm’s belief that inflammation is the root cause of most skin concerns, the collection introduces efficacious, fragrance-free formulations designed to calm, hydrate, and support the skin barrier, without aggressive ingredients or sensory overload. Offering a distinctive, performance-driven approach, the range responds to a growing global appreciation for skin health and wellness-focused luxury.”
“My philosophy is that every skincare routine should combat inflammation, and heal the skin, not attack it,” says Dr. Barbara Sturm. “Bringing this philosophy into hotels for the first time alongside La Bottega discerning clientele, allows guests to experience professional, anti-inflammatory based skincare standards in their daily rituals, wherever they are in the world.”
Developed to honour Dr. Sturm’s expertise, the Hotel Essentials Collection is entirely fragrance-free, highly efficacious, and free from parabens, PEGs, silicones, gluten, triclosan, and other aggressive ingredients.
The formulations mirror the brand’s medical roots while being adapted for the hospitality environment, a pioneering move that positions wellness and skin health at the forefront of the guest experience.
For La Bottega, the partnership represents a defining evolution in how guest experience is curated. Tommaso Pacini, CEO of La Bottega Collective, said, “Dr. Barbara Sturm is a global authority in skincare and skin health. Translating her philosophy into hospitality is a milestone moment for not only La Bottega, but our industry as a whole. This hotel essentials collection is a testament to efficacy, trust and elegance in guest care.”
The collection is presented in considered, design-led packaging, including 100% recyclable 50ml aluminium tubes, plus 300ml and 500ml refillable resin dispensers with inner cartridges made from 100% recycled plastic, reinforcing both Dr. Babara Sturm and La Bottega’s commitment to environmental responsibility. The collection includes Hand Wash, Body Wash, Shampoo, Conditioner and Body Lotion.
