The Story Behind 1270b

By the founder, Charlotte

I have an MSc in Chemistry and a BSc in Biochemistry, along with over five years of experience as an industrial formulation scientist. I’ve always had a bit of an obsession with having healthy, glowing skin, so skincare is something I genuinely love. Now, I’m combining that passion with my scientific background to create products that are not only thoughtfully formulated but actually deliver real, visible results.
I took a good hard look at the skincare products I was using and noticed that active ingredients often weren’t properly formulated or stored—leading to poor performance. I realized I was paying top dollar for skincare that didn’t contain functional active ingredients.
That’s when I started formulating my own skincare products at home, in the basement—address 1270b. It was the lab’s nickname, and now it’s our brand.
At 1270b (TWELV SEV-en-tee B), each formula is thoughtfully developed, evidence-based, and designed to deliver results. From pH and ingredient compatibility to packaging and long-term stability, every detail is carefully considered to create products that consistently support healthy, radiant skin.
At 1270b, I make Scientifically Formulated Skincare.
