Live by blue beauty

TOGETHER, WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Blue Beauty is a holistic approach to beauty that offers products that take care of your skin while taking care of the planet. Beauty that can launch a wave of positive change. Biotherm is dedicated to Blue Beauty.
Powered by science, water-efficient, eco-designed and safe. We are committed to using more renewable ingredients, creating more formulas that respect the oceans, developing more sustainable designs and empowering a global community of Water Lovers.
At Biotherm, we want to not only lead the change but also empower the entire beauty industry to join our fight to preserve the oceans.

"Becoming Ocean Positive is not something that can happen overnight; it is about making sure that we are always improving on where we were yesterday. We have set ourselves ambitious sustainability targets for 2025 and 2030 across our entire value chain. This is a journey that we are taking with our partners to help us progressively transform from a committed brand to a fully sustainable one. We believe that beauty can — and should — have a positive impact on our ocean."

In 2017, Biotherm partnered with the Tara Ocean Foundation, a trailblazing research organization dedicated to the study of the impact of climate change on the oceans, and whose research helps the brand understand how to minimize its products’ impact on water. Biotherm proudly supports the Tara Ocean Foundation’s Mission Microbiomes, its 12th scientific mission focused on the study of the most fundamental fabric of the Ocean, its microbiome.

ACTION PARTNER SINCE 2020

BIOTHERM X SURFRIDER FOUNDATION EUROPE

In 2020, Biotherm became a partner of Surfrider Foundation Europe to raise public awareness of the issues of plastic pollution and step up its beach cleaning operations.
This support helped the NGO’s Ocean Initiatives program bring together nearly 20,000 participants across 540 beach cleanings, collecting over 465 m3 of waste.

INFLUENCIAL PARTNER SINCE 2021

BIOTHERM X OCEANOGRAPHIC INSTITUTE OF MONACO
