Biofrontera AG: Biofrontera launches novel BELIXOS® ACTIVE CARE

Leverkusen, Germany (pta023/05.07.2023/11:25 UTC+2)

Biofrontera (ISIN: DE0006046113) announces that the active cosmetic series belixos® has been extended by the care foam belixos® ACTIVE CARE.

belixos® ACTIVE CARE is a skin-soothing care foam for irritated and itchy skin that can be used as basic care for atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, as well as for soothing intensive care for everyday skin problems. With its innovative formulation as a foam, it provides a pleasant feeling on the skin without a greasy film and enables particularly gentle application of the high-quality ingredients as a result of the reduced foam formulation.

Due to it`s innovative nature, Biofrontera was able to register the underlying innovative foam formulation as a patent.

As previously in the belixos® cosmetics series, the focus is on the traditional medicinal plant Mahonia as an active component. The medicinal plant, which is still quite unknown in European country but has been used for centuries in the medicine of the indigenous peoples of North America, is known to have anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and antiseptic properties.

With the help of Biofrontera's proprietary biocolloid technology, the plant-based active ingredients penetrate very quickly into the epidermis and distribute there in order to unfold their soothing and regenerating effect in this very sensitive layer of skin that is particularly accessible to external influences.

"With this state-of-the-art product Biofrontera strengthens its position as an innovative company in the dermatological field. With the launch of belixos® ACTIVE CARE we expand our scope in dermatology by additionally providing a basic care for irritated and itchy skin. We will mainly promote it to dermatologists so Biofrontera could enhance our position as a key partner and expert in dermatology", Pilar de la Huerta, CFO of Biofrontera comments the launch.

belixos® ACTIVE CARE will be available in Germany in two product sizes at pharmacies and via the online retailer Amazon, as a 35ml-can at EUR 19.95 RRP and as a 100ml-can at EUR 29.95 RRP.
