NAOS

Inspired by a humanist utopia, NAOS is a mission-driven, purpose-led company. NAOS views skin as a living ecosystem that constantly interacts with its environment and changes over time. From this dynamic vision emerged ecobiology: a scientific approach, radically different from traditional cosmetics, that is built on a profound respect for skin and an understanding of skin biology.

This positive approach—born from blending “ecosystem” and “biology”—rests on the idea that our skin’s biology and physiology, people’s lifestyles, and our planet’s ecosystems are inseparably connected. Based on these principles, we help skin adapt to its environment and draw on its own resources to restore its natural functions by addressing the causes of imbalance. Rooted in this ecobiological approach, BIODERMA, Institut Esthederm and Etat Pur are three brands inspired by NAOS’s philosophy, sharing the same scientific and human standards.
