BIODERMA is NAOS dermatological brand at the service of health

“When skin suffers, more than treating it, it should be supported to live according to its natural biology.”

From this vision, the French pharmacist and biologist Jean-Noël Thorel created NAOS, a company inspired by life and driven by the heart.

Learn more about NAOS and its unique approach, ecobiology, to respect the skin ecosystem and preserve its health lastingly.

Putting biology at the service of dermatology, and dermatology at the service of health

Everyday day, our skin has to adapt to its environment, which can affect its balance and its health. Pollution, weather conditions, UV rays, illness, medicated treatments, aging... All these factors weaken and unbalance the skin, exceeding its natural self-defenses. Skin becomes more sensitive, more reactive, marks, visible redness and irritation can appear. Each person’s skin reacts in its own way, depending on its DNA.

We are convinced that acting on the visible signs is not enough. To really take care of the skin and its health lastingly, we must preserve it from external aggressions (weather, drugs, pollution) and deeply act on the causes of its imbalances, while truly respecting its ecology and natural biology. Together with dermatologists and healthcare professionals, we design products to prevent, take care and accompany dermatological treatments in a lasting way.

At the heart of our products, there is a disruptive, but respectful approach, driven by NAOS for the past 40 years: ecobiology.

Ecobiology is a scientific approach that combines the ecology and biology of the skin. Radically different from traditional cosmetics, this approach considers the skin as a living ecosystem, whose natural resources and mechanisms must be preserved.

Ecobiology is born from a deep biological understanding of the skin. Full of living cells interacting together, the skin is permanently evolving and adapting to both our body and the world around us. Our approach helps the skin to adapt to its environment and to draw on its own resources in order to recover its natural functions.

Ecobiology is at the heart of each of our products, in order to ensure dermatological safety, support skin barrier and bring a lasting biological efficacy in the respect of each skin sensitivity.

Skin is a dynamic ecosystem full of living cells interacting together and with their environment. We are committed to develop products that respect this ecosystem and that will be easily assimilated into the skin. For that we have determined very specific criteria in selecting ingredients and formulating our products: we prefer pure, polyfunctional ingredients, already present in the skin or close to the natural skin constituents and never overdosed.

Our skin is alive, permanently renewing, communicating and adapting. Skin is our best ally. That’s why our products help the skin to adapt and regain its balance on its own, by supporting and strengthening the natural mechanisms of the skin.

By taking internal and external factors into account. We pay particular attention to biological mechanisms as a whole, to provide a global, accurate and appropriate response.

Life deeply knows how to do things, how to grow, how to evolve, how to adapt… As well, the skin is a smart living organ that deeply knows how to do things right: effectively and sustainably. That’s why we aim at imitating what nature does best, healthy-looking skin being our first source of inspiration. Our products’ modes of action try to reproduce or imitate the structure or the mechanisms of healthy-looking skin.

To respect each skin sensitivity and preserve its health in the long term, ecobiology is at the heart of all our products.

In prevention, relay or accompaniment of dermatological treatments, our products help you preserve the health of your skin. Thanks to our ecobiological approach, studying the skin biology with its internal and external interactions, our products help you improve your quality of life.
