Our Philosophy

1. Our Philosophy 1. BIODERMA IS A NAOS BRAND Ecobiology at the service of dermatology. To preserve skin health. Lastingly. BIODERMA is a NAOS brand. Ecobiology is at the heart of NAOS approach to better preserve the skin ecosystem and to strengthen its natural mechanisms. Rather than over-treating the skin, it must be taught to function properly… From this idea, the brands BIODERMA, INSTITUT ESTHEDERM and ETAT PUR were born. Each of the brands‘ mission contributes to NAOS broader ambition. NAOS is a purpose-driven company inspired by a claimed humanist utopia. A way of looking at the world, the constant desire to question and challenge the status quo in order to build a future that will never forget its ultimate aim: humankind. Today, operating in 100 countries and still as fiercely independent as ever, NAOS has the ambition to become globally known for the universal value and the originality of its approach. To achieve this goal, NAOS will be extending its scope from Skincare to Human Care (Health, Beauty, Well-being). 2. BIODERMA PHILOSOPHY BIOLOGY & DERMATOLOGY BIODERMA, DERMATOLOGICAL LABORATORY A pioneer since the 1970s, BIODERMA has acquired unique expertise by placing biology at the service of dermatology. This original scientific approach relies first and foremost on knowledge of the skin and its biological mechanisms to formulate products directly inspired by them.

2. OUR MODEL A SINGLE MODEL: HEALTHY SKIN All BIODERMA research revolves around the study of healthy skin and its cells and imbalances. The skin speaks its own language and BIODERMA tirelessly seeks to understand it. It is subject to changes and environmental stresses. Therefore, diseases, medicated treatments, aging and many other factors may affect its balance and cause it to malfunction. BIODERMA’s approach involves reactivating the skin’s natural resources to help it resist and recover its normal functions, which are those found in healthy skin. OUR CONCEPT A UNIQUE CONCEPT, BIOLOGICAL MIMETISM Based on total respect for the skin, BIODERMA products imitate its natural biological mechanisms through their components and their modes of action. To formulate them, BIODERMA selects thepurest active ingredients, using molecules naturally found in the skin for better tolerance. Depending on the malfunction, BIODERMA products preserve, activate or restore the skin’s natural processes. OUR MISSION AN ABSOLUTE REQUIREMENT, THE DERMATOLOGICAL SAFETY BIODERMA has always sought to reconcile perfect effectiveness and better tolerance for each skin type and each condition. In order to guarantee the greatest dermatological safety, BIODERMA skin care products contain a very limited number of ingredients and optimally dosed active ingredients. Pre-empting the recommendations of the health authorities, BIODERMA tends to exclude all dermatologically questionable products. These commitments are reflected in a formulation charter that applies to all product developments and grounds their superiority in a scientific method. This uncompromising approach explains why BIODERMA products improve the skin’s tolerance and help it be less reactive. That is why they all benefit from the DAF (Dermatological Advanced Formulation) patented natural complex. Read More Information: Does Micellar Water work on acne-prone skin?
