Every entrepreneur faces challenges, but the most impactful innovations often arise where personal hardship and professional expertise intersect. At our upcoming event, we will highlight the inspiring story of Spanish pharmacist and entrepreneur María Unceta-Barrenechea. When her mother, Carmen, was diagnosed with cancer, María witnessed firsthand how harsh treatments damaged the skin. Driven by love and her pharmaceutical background, she began developing in her own laboratory a solution that did not yet exist. The result? María D’uol Oncology: the first cosmetic line in Europe specifically created to alleviate the side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
A powerful example of how a personal crisis can be transformed into a successful company that now helps thousands of patients worldwide regain their dignity and comfort.
Good to know: Maria will give her presentation in Spanish

“Carmen has been one of the most rewarding lines for us at María D’uol. For me, María D’uol has been a major project, but Carmen goes far beyond that. It is something deeply moving and, at the same time, it continues to be a challenge. Following the day-to-day progress of medical treatments closely allows me to keep researching new products to care for the skin, and to support many people during their illness, helping improve their quality of life.
Feeling that you are useful and that you have a purpose in life is something truly beautiful. I feel very fortunate to be able to combine my passion for formulation with my desire to care for others.”
