Have Biotherm products been dermatologically tested?
From the earliest product design stages, the Biotherm labs carry out a full test run in order to satisfy the dual requirements of tolerance and efficiency: in-vitro tests, tests on reconstructed skin models (Episkin), clinical tests under dermatological control with external service providers, etc. Every Biotherm care product is also tested in line with its characteristics: tests carried out under opthalmological control for eye care products, non-comedogenic tests for oily skin, hypoallergenic tests for sensitive skin, etc.
How long can I keep a product once it has been opened?
To know the conservation period of your product once it has been opened, read the directions on its packaging. The "period after opening" or PAO is now indicated by a specific symbol: an open pot indicating the number of months for which the product may be used after opening.
Where can I find the list of ingredients?
Everything that goes into the product is listed on the packaging, under "Ingredients", and on each product data sheet on this web site.
How long can a product be kept without having been opened?
Left unopened, the conservation duration of cosmetic products is set at 30 months by a European Directive. Biotherm guarantees the quality of its products for a period in excess of this under the appropriate storage conditions, i.e.: away from excessive heat and moisture.

Just what is Pure Extract of Thermal Plankton™?
Having first appeared on Earth some three million years ago, thermal plankton - a type of microflora - lives in the sulphurous thermal springs of the mountains, rich in minerals. Biotherm biologists discovered over fifty years ago its affinity with skin and just how efficient it was. They therefore decided to create the first ever range of thermal plankton cosmetic care products and succeeded, after twenty years of research and development, in isolating it and reproducing it in a concentrated form: Pure Extract of Thermal Plankton™.
The Biotherm labs have been able to demonstrate that Pure Extract of Thermal Plankton™, in bio-affinity with the skin, carries some unique properties. Pure Extract of Thermal Plankton™ instantly soothes the skin. A concentrated source of vitality and rejuvenation for the skin, it leaves skin feeling and looking soft, smooth and radiant.
Pure Extract of Thermal Plankton™ is at the heart of Biotherm's innovation and expertise. It is a powerful activator, soothing the skin, and reinforcing its natural defences against aging. Today, Biotherm is still the only brand able to boast the use of this ingredient in its cosmetic care products.
