About Biotherm
Embodying the quintessence of French luxury skincare since 1952, Biotherm is a distinguished brand under the L'Oréal Luxury Products division. Our origins trace back to the pioneering discovery of the rejuvenating thermal plankton by Dr. Jos Jullien in the mineral-rich waters of Molitg-les-Bains, France. This remarkable find paved the way for our first revolutionary skincare products, La Crème Triple-Usage and Biomains, which debuted in 1952 and continue to captivate the skincare world today.
Our signature ingredient, thermal plankton, is at the heart of all Biotherm products, encapsulated in our very name - the "*therm*" in "*Biotherm*". The "*Bio*" prefix pays homage to our founder's roots as a biologist, underscoring our commitment to harnessing nature's power for skin rejuvenation. Rich in minerals, proteins, vitamins, and trace elements, thermal plankton forms the cornerstone of Biotherm's targeted skincare solutions. Our journey of innovation has seen us introduce groundbreaking products, from the first sun cream and slimming cream in the 1960s to our iconic Bio-Buste Suractive breast firming cream in 1968.
As part of the L'Oréal family, Biotherm has expanded its global reach and commitment to sustainability. Our Water Lovers program is a testament to our dedication to planet protection, creating products that not only nurture the skin but also respect the planet. Our Blue Beauty vision is a pledge to utilize renewable ingredients, minimize our carbon footprint, and promote circular economy principles. We are committed to becoming Ocean Positive by 2030, reflecting our unwavering commitment to beauty and sustainability.
Where to find the batch code on Biotherm products?
Finding the batch code on your Biotherm product is essential for tracking its freshness. For skincare products like serums or creams, look at the bottom of the glass jar or plastic bottle. The code is often etched into the container or printed in a small, contrasting color.
If you have a tube (like a cleanser or hand cream), check the crimped seal at the very top. For boxed items, Biotherm usually stamps the same alphanumeric code on the outer packaging near the barcode or ingredient list. Most Biotherm batch codes consist of 3 to 6 characters, combining letters and numbers.
Important: Period After Opening (PAO)
While the batch code reveals the expiration date for unopened products, the **Period After Opening (PAO)** symbol is what you must follow once you use the product for the first time. Look for an "open jar" icon with a number followed by 'M' (e.g., 6M, 12M). This indicates how many months your Biotherm product remains safe and effective after the seal is broken.
