A French pharmacist and biologist specialising in cellular technologies, Jean-Noël Thorel has conducted a wealth of research into skin bio-ecology, and is founder of the brands Institut Esthederm, Bioderma and Etat Pur. In the 1970s, the sun-loving researcher devised a different approach to sun protection that went against traditional ways of thinking. Based on optimised tanning and natural skin protection, it is strongly anti-photo ageing.

 

Esthederm suncare products have been unanimously praised by women's magazines in France. Behind their success is the conviction that all types of skin have a right to enjoy the sun

 

Ageing, intolerance and dark spots are all sun-related symptoms that have led to the creation of what are now highly popular products: Bronz Repair, Adaptasun, Intolérances Solaires, PhotoReverse.

Jean Noël Thorel then developed patents and technologies that support the effectiveness of all face care, body care or suncare products and laid the foundations of the Esthederm philosophy: advances in aesthetics through biology.

 

The most advanced solutions in the range designed to fight ageing.

 

The patents Cellular Water (mimetic of tissue fluid), Repair (dermal repair), UVinCellium (filter and screen-free intracellular protection), Time Control System (anti-oxidising) are some of the most advanced solutions in the range designed to fight ageing. 

A pioneer of research into skin flora and its ecosystem, microbiome, he developed a professional cleansing method, Osmoclean, which has been endorsed by many beauty therapists. The results yielded by the company's spa treatments, developed in partnership with experts in osteopathy and physiotherapy, have won the hearts of even the most demanding women.

Today, the effectiveness and high performance of its formulas, the trust and respect gained from professionals in the beauty industry worldwide and the loyalty and commitment of its users make Institut Esthederm a leading player in the skin and suncare sectors. For all women who want to protect their skin’s youthfulness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FORMULATION CHARTER

 

We choose pure molecules that respect the skin’s ecosystem, reactivate its metabolism, protect its natural resources and restore it to its original quality. These molecules are then selected based on highly stringent criteria:

 

TOLERANCE AND PROTECTION

 Institut Esthederm's primary commitment is to ensure tolerance and protection in each stage of formulation, and to respect the skin’s physiological constants, for risk-free effectiveness

 

SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS

Ingredients are selected based on two main criteria: safety and proven effectiveness. Their mechanisms of action have to respect and optimise the skin's natural mechanisms, in order to adhere to a long-term "re-education" approach.

 

PURITY AND TRACEABILITY OF ACTIVE INGREDIENTS

Esthederm favours the use of the purest molecules at an optimum dose. The traceability of components is a priority.
