The story begins in 1952 in the French Pyrenees when Dr. Jos Jullien discovered a miraculous fountain in which Roman warriors would bathe after battle in order to heal their wounds. In this water, he found what would become Biotherm’s exclusive and iconic natural ingredient: Life Plankton™.
After 8 years of research, Biotherm biologists developed a unique bio-fermentation process which allowed Life Plankton™ to be made 400,000 times more concentrated than that of its natural state. Isolated and amplified through this process, Life Plankton™ reignites the skin's regenerating powers and renews it.
Today we need the power of this living microorganism to protect and heal our skin from daily aggressions such as stress, pollution, poor diet, smoke, UV light, lack of sleep… you name it! Created to be the first step of every beauty routine, Life Plankton™ Clear Essence and Life Plankton™ Essence act as fundamental skin healing and renewing treatments.
Infused with this miraculous ingredient, these two products transform, day after day, your skin, making it look younger, clearer, brighter, and renewed.
To improve skin clarity and texture, apply a small amount of Life Plankton™ Clear Essence or 5–6 drops of the original Life Plankton™ Essence to reduce dryness and make your skin smoother and more radiant. As effective as a serum, these incredible essences will transform and renew your skin in 8 days. Ready for newborn pristine skin?
Considered the most powerful regenerating ingredient in cosmetics today, Life Plankton™ boosts cell renewal and delivers glowing skin. For dull skin, Life Plankton™ Elixir is an intense healing treatment with a high concentration (5%) of Life Plankton™, plus hyaluronic acid to defend, soothe, and regenerate skin
Quick Tip: When applying serum, massage areas prone to fine lines like forehead and cheekbones slowly to stimulate skin regeneration. The non-sticky, transformative texture penetrates deeply to restore firmness, vitality, and heal early signs of aging.
Sometimes skin needs healing beyond soothing. Life Plankton™ Sensitive Emulsion (5% concentration) neutralizes redness, itching, and discomfort of sensitive skin. It hydrates deeply, leaving skin stronger and less reactive.
For immediate relief, Life Plankton™ Sensitive Balm nourishes deeply, restores the protective barrier, reduces signs of sensitivity, and leaves skin soft and supple.
Life Plankton™ Mask is a fresh hydrogel overnight mask that intensely repairs, soothes, and recreates bounce. Apply twice weekly before bed for smoother, renewed, rosy skin.
