Our mission: thanks to ecobiology, let no one suffer from skin disorders

Through the eyes of dermatologists and thanks to our biologist glasses, at BIODERMA we are the only dermatological company capable of seeing & understanding skin’s beauty and energy.
 

We are fascinated by skin’s intelligence and its capacity to regenerate itself. By constantly leveraging this intelligence, we develop products that allow everyone to reveal moments of life freed from the burden of skin problems.

    Rather than over-treating the skin, we need to teach it to live.

Ecobiology has been BIODERMA’s differentiated scientific approach to dermatology for 45 years, allowing us to care and support patients, clients and medical communities around the world.
 

We consider skin as an ecosystem and act with its biology, treating the causes of imbalances instead of just acting on the signs.

AR+

SENSIBIO AR+ Range

Co-developed with dermatologists, SENSIBIO AR+ is a complete skincare routine that not only targets the biological causes of rosacea, but also addresses the psychological dimension, to make your life easier and your skin more comfortable. The range has been formulated to respect the specific needs of your skin, from the daily soothing hygiene, concentrate and cream, to the flash SOS care product.

 

We work closely with more than 150 000 dermatologists and healthcare professionals around the world.

Dermatologists, paediatricians, oncologists, hospital staff and pharmacists are all involved and enthusiastically take part in our research programs to help us develop dermatological skincare products that meet the specific needs of each skin type.

Together, driven by the same approach, we attempt to better understand the origins of skin imbalances to pave the way for new dermatological innovations and to investigate revolutionary solutions that respect the skin’s natural biological processes, while ensuring optimal tolerance.

We are guided by one mission: to reveal the intelligence of the skin at every stage of its life, whether itis facing external aggressions, aging, or internal imbalances.
