Bioderma is a world-renowned dermo-cosmetic brand that focuses on the principle of ecobiology. It was founded in the 1970s in France by pharmacist Jean-Noël Thorel, who pioneered a unique approach to skincare by viewing the skin as a living ecosystem that needs to be respected and strengthened rather than just treated with chemicals. The brand is famous for inventing micellar water and developing advanced sun protection technologies like the Photoderm range.
Today, Bioderma is and has always been a key pillar of the NAOS group. Unlike many of its competitors, it has remained independent of major global conglomerates like L'Oréal or Estée Lauder. Manufacturing primarily takes place at the NAOS Les Laboratoires facilities in Aix-en-Provence, France, ensuring that the brand maintains strict pharmaceutical-grade quality control and adheres to European safety standards.
The brand's ownership is tied to the Jean-Noël Thorel Foundation, a non-profit shareholder dedicated to human development and the ecological transition. This allows the company to focus on sustainable growth and biological research without the pressure of short-term quarterly earnings usually associated with public stock markets.
