Discover where a brand or product originates
Biotherm is a luxury skincare brand rooted in mineral-rich thermal spring water. The brand's history began in the early 20th century when French biologist Jeanine Marissal discovered the healing properties of Life Plankton™ in the thermal springs of the French Pyrenees mountains. This discovery led to the founding of Biotherm in 1952, introducing specialized skincare solutions formulated with aquatic ingredients.
The majority of Biotherm's production remains concentrated in France, specifically at the L'Oréal factory in Sicos, which specializes in luxury and dermatological skincare products. The brand has expanded globally, offering a wide range of products including the iconic 'Lait Corporel' and the 'Oil Therapy' line, which utilizes botanical oils like apricot kernel oil to treat dry skin.
In 1970, the brand was acquired by L'Oréal, the world's largest cosmetics company. Under L'Oréal's ownership, Biotherm has stayed true to its "Blue Beauty" philosophy, focusing on sustainable sourcing from the world's oceans and thermal waters. Today, it operates as a key part of L'Oréal's Luxe division, a portfolio that contains some of the most prestigious beauty brands in the world.
