In the 1970's Jean-Noël Thorel, a pioneering pharmacist envisioned a radically new approach to dermo-cosmetics placing a deep understanding of biology at the service of dermatology.

“Our vision is different because we don’t stop at correcting skin dysfunction, we aim to protect the skin’s resources and empower the skin to better adapt to its environment and lifestyle, over time." Jean-Noel

All Bioderma research revolves around the study of healthy skin, its cells, and imbalances. "The skin speaks its own language and BIODERMA tirelessly seeks to understand it." Jean-Noel

Bioderma products imitate the skins natural biological mechanisms and their modes of action. To formulate them, Bioderma builds formulas around molecules naturally found in the skin for better tolerance.

The Bioderma Foundation was created to actively disseminate knowledge of dermatology among doctors all over the world and advance fundamental biology research through an ethical and socially-responsible approach.
