Biafine

Biafine is a prominent French skincare brand specializing in topical emulsions for the treatment of burns, wounds, and skin irritations. Originally developed in 1971 by Jean-Marie Yerly for Laboratoire Yerly, the brand became a staple in French pharmacies for its efficacy in promoting skin healing and hydration. Its flagship product, Biafine Emulsion, is widely used for sunburns, radiation-induced dermatitis, and superficial wounds. The formulation works by maintaining a moist environment and facilitating the recruitment of macrophages to the site of injury. Today, the brand is part of Kenvue, the consumer health spin-off from Johnson & Johnson, and continues to be a leader in the dermo-cosmetic and wound care markets.
