Origins

In 1952, Biotherm’s founder Jeanine Marissal added thermal plankton from the springs of the Pyrenees mountains to her formulations. In 1994, Biotherm reproduces this extract by a unique biotechnological process called Fermogenesis™.

Within your skin

Biotherm products are enriched with Life Plankton™, pure thermal plankton extract that contains 35 nutrients, proteins, vitamins, amino acids, glucids, lipids and trace elements that help revive the skin’s vital functions and which are essential to its health.

Origins

In 1988 marine biologist Josefina Castellvi discovered Pseudonomas antarctica - a microorganism with incredible water-stocking capacities - in the remote Admiralty Bay on King George Island, Antarctica.

Origins

Discovered in 1822 by the baron Bachelor de la Pylaie off France’s Brittany coast, L. ochroleuca inhabits the littoral zones close to the low-water mark and depths of 100 meters, so must resist the stress of waves, currents, tides and winds.

Origins

H. Pluvialis is able to withstand greater extremes in life and salt concentrations than most other algae, due to its rapid ability to make Astaxanthin. When exposed to harsh conditions, this organism produces enormous quantities of Astaxanthin, a very powerful anti-oxidant that protects the algae's cells from UV radiations.

Within your skin

"One of the world's powerful and safe antioxidants, Astaxanthin has been found to help boost the antioxidant and UV-light protection properties of skin cells and in so doing leave the skin feeling, and looking, healthier and younger." Dr Thys, renowned marine Biologist.

Origins

Appearing 3.6 billion years ago, Spirulina bubbled oxygen into Earth's hostile atmosphere, herlping our planet to transform into a lush oasis. Nowadays, this previous algae is mainly found off the coasts of California.

Within your skin

Spirulina algae extract acts as a skin cellular energy booster while simultaneously protecting from free radicals and UVA damages.

Origins

Thriving off the natural nutrients of Upper Klamath Lake in Oregon, U.S. auto-regenerating, protein-rich A.flos-aquae extract has produced vital atmospheric oxygen since it first appeared around 3.5 billion years ago. Lifted from the lake's surface, the algae undergoes a lengthly filtration and evaporation process ensuring its regenerating biological properties remain intact.

Origins

Thermus thermophilus is an extremophile microorganism surviving at depths of -2000m withstanding the heavy metal pollution of a « black smoker », an underwater hydrothermal vent, in Guaymas bay, California.

Within your skin

Thermus thermophilus extract Venuceane, helps to neutralize epidermal toxins. Epidermal cells are like « depolluted » and purified of the toxins and melanin residues which tarnish the complexion.

Origins

Native to Greenland’s glacial waters, Alaria Esculenta survives in temperatures below 16°C at depths of up to 35 meters. Composed of a web of elastic fibers, themselves made of proteins and polysaccharides, it has the strength and elasticity to withstand the pounding of more than 8000 waves a day. Auto-regenerative, Alaria Esculenta reaches growth rates of up to 10 cm per day, faster than other macro-algae species.

Within your skin

Alaria Esculenta extract demonstrates a twofold action in skin: both combating aging and speeding up repair. With a unique composition of lipids, minerals and essential amino acids, Alaria Esculenta extract works to improve the skin’s appearance in two key ways:
1/ Counteracting aging by neutralizing inflammation and boosting age-damaged proteins elimination via the activation of the proteasome.
2/ Speed up repair by accelerating cellular metabolism and the synthesis of essential epidermal lipids.
