Natural dermocosmetics brand scaling across European retail and e-commerce
Freshly Cosmetics manufactures and distributes natural skincare and haircare products across 36 countries, operating a hybrid model of direct-to-consumer e-commerce, 13 company-owned stores in Spain, and wholesale partnerships across pharmacy and retail channels. The tech stack—PHP/Laravel/PrestaShop, Figma, Asana/Jira, GCP—reflects a mid-size consumer brand focused on operational efficiency and content production rather than bleeding-edge infrastructure. Hiring is balanced across marketing, sales, and design, with acute internal friction around omnichannel execution, retail performance measurement, and production scaling.
Freshly Cosmetics, founded in 2016 and headquartered in Reus, Spain, produces dermocosmetics formulated with 99% natural-origin ingredients and marketed toward dermatologically sensitive and pregnancy-safe use cases. The company operates a multi-channel go-to-market: direct sales via e-commerce and marketplaces (reaching 2 million registered community members), 13 branded retail locations across Spain, and wholesale distribution through pharmacy and retailer partners in Spain, Andorra, Italy, Portugal, and France. With 201–500 employees, the organization maintains in-house product development, manufacturing, and content creation. Current operational priorities center on omnichannel integration, retail execution consistency, production capacity expansion, and geographic growth, especially in Italy.
Freshly sells products in 36 countries via e-commerce and marketplaces. Physical retail presence spans Spain (13 stores), Andorra, Italy, Portugal, and France through franchise and wholesale partnerships. Current expansion focus is on Italy.
