Thermal plankton is a favorite ingredient of the Biotherm brand. What miracles he is capable of, you will find out when you get acquainted with the history of the world-famous brand, rich in discoveries.
Legends and secrets
The fact that the thermal water of the Pyrenees rejuvenates and heals has been known since the Middle Ages. Women spent hours basking in the “fountains of youth” so that the skin becomes soft and tender. And the Gallo-Roman warriors wore a bottle of water from mountain springs on their belts – the wounds treated with it healed faster.
There are several healing springs of thermal water in the Pyrenees.
The secret of the thermal spring was revealed much later, in the XNUMXth century. A balneological resort has already been built nearby, where people come to treat skin diseases all year round. But no one could explain how water helps to relieve dermatitis and psoriasis, accelerates healing after burns and injuries. And then one day one of the employees of the hospital, Dr. Jos Julien, walking after dinner and admiring the picturesque views, noticed a strange substance on the surface of the water. He took several samples, carefully examined them under a microscope … and found a colony of amazing microorganisms, which were later named thermal plankton.

Creation of Biotherm
Dr. Julien told a cosmetologist friend from Monaco about his discovery. Janine Marissal. Together, they continued their research and found that thermal plankton, in terms of biochemical composition, is in many ways similar to human skin and has a noticeable beneficial effect on it. However, when trying to extract thermal plankton from the water and create a serum or cream based on it, scientists invariably faced two difficulties. On land, thermal plankton instantly lost most of their healing properties. And it was also not possible to use it together with water – it was not possible to achieve the desired concentration, too much water was required.
Janine Marissal, 1940s.
Together with other specialists, Marissal developed a biofermentation technology, thanks to which it was possible to obtain an extract of thermal plankton in the laboratory. This is how the company was born Biotherm. Bio means “life” and refers to scientific developments, while therm is “thermal water”, a source of strength Biotherm cosmetics.
