Biotech-powered for 30 years
Biotherm was created in 1952 based on the discovery of vitreoscilla filiformis, a plankton with superior skin-regenerating properties. An exceptional living ingredient but incredibly fragile and difficult to work with.
In 1994, Biotherm’s biologists developed the first biotech process ever applied to skincare to harness the full power of this unique plankton in their formulas.
Through biotech, Biotherm's original plankton is purified and concentrated to 400,000 times its natural strength. This 100% natural ingredient, now known as Biotech Plankton™, delivers a potent dose of 35 nutrients—including protein building blocks, electrolytes, and minerals—that supercharge skin cells with high energy. The result? Immediate visible results and long-term regenerative benefits.
With Biotech Plankton™, Biotherm delivers unparalleled skincare performance.
•3X stronger skin barrier function
•2X faster skin regeneration
•Amplified performance of other active ingredients by up to 5 times
30 years of research, 11 scientific publications, 6 live patents—and the potential is limitless.
After 30 years of biotech innovation, Biotherm continues to push the boundaries: In partnership with Carbios, the brand will launch the world's first bio-recycled plastic bottle. Three years in the making, this innovation will bring Biotherm closer to its goal of becoming fully plastic circular by 2030.
Committed to aquatic biodiversity preservation:
Biotherm comes from water and we are committed on preserving aquatic biodiversity, the number one source of life on earth.
In 2012, Biotherm launched the program Water Lover, to encompass all the concrete actions and scientific programs dedicated to preserving aquatic biodiversity.
It begins with us:
- All our formulas are assessed on our Aquatic Life Testing Platform.
- We strive for utmost biodegradability, preferring biotech-powered, biobased, biodegradable, active ingredients over synthetic or chemical ones.
- We eco-design our packaging and retail materials, and aim for full plastic circularity by 2030, leveraging Carbios’ world premiere biotech innovation.
We support the scientific community:
- through our Hope Spots, in partnership with Mission Blue since 2012.
- through our support to Tara Ocean Foundation’s expeditions, since 2017.
- through our offshore sailing program with skipper Paul Meilhat, by collecting invaluable biodiversity data from remote parts of the ocean inaccessible to scientists.
