mid/night is a minimalist cosmetic and fragrance brand based in Barcelona, Spain. Founded in 2019 by creative director Nina Urgell and entrepreneur Marc Ciudad, mid/night is a collision of creativity and exceptional quality. Inspired by diversity and inclusivity, all products are designed for every skin type, tone, and gender, and to fit seamlessly into modern life.
A thinly layered freshness reminiscent of the ocean breeze – that is the mesmerising character of the mimosa blossom. Understated and textured, its unique solar floralcy is at once airy, slightly green and watery, capturing the delicate complexity of the morning sea air. Clean aldehydes and soothing aloe notes gloss over with a fluid transparency, revealing the warm minerality of sea salt exuded by Orcanox™, an upcycled, bio-tech engineered molecule with modern Ambergris facets: clean, musky and woody at the same time.
An explosion of green in all its shades. The crisp effervescence of Calabrian bergamot sparkling over rose-minty geranium, the deliciously bitter aroma of tomato leaf mingled with the dusty spice of chili leaf. A touch of olive flower and mimosa unravels a soothing floral dimension that hovers sweetly over the skin, under the mellow shade of soft amber woods.
A subtly decadent blend of smoldering woods and hypnotic florals wrap around the skin for a deep, lasting impression. The fusion of rich sandalwood, cedar and oakmoss notes flares with a bitter red seaweed extract which lends a salty freshness with moisturising and mineralising properties. A duo of iris and immortelle flowers reveals a textured comfort with accents of suede and earthy clay.
Then you hear it, coming in over the cliffs, whispering through the sand and trees. Finally you feel it all at once – the fresh and faintly spicy minerality of the ocean breeze, charged with the vibrant aromas of fig leaf and eucalyptus that billow in the night. A modern yet timeless scent that is as much a sensorial experience as one of the mind.
mid/night skincare products are formulated using natural active ingredients with high added value developed through a unique and innovative biotechnological process to make products both more effective and more sustainable. All products are plant-based and contain at least 90% natural ingredients. There are no toxins, silicones, parabens, phthalates, SLS or GMOs.
“ mid/night was created from, and still is, a labour of passion, intention and curiosity. It emerged as an exploration of new understandings of beauty that went beyond purely physical concerns. We acknowledge the myriad forms of beauty and strive to deliver products that are more than just solutions. mid/night products are an experience that focuses as much on the results as its sensations.“
— Nina Urgell & Marc Ciudad, co-founders
As part of midnight’s commitment to sustainability, the brand exclusively uses glass, aluminium, or sugarcane containers with recyclable packaging. Almost all products are designed, tested and manufactured in Barcelona, with the vast majority of ingredients being sourced locally in order to minimise carbon footprint.
