At the Root of Better Hair. Since 1883.

One Formula Started It All

Before there was Biophytum, there was La Lotion Triomphante.

Developed by Dr. Marteyl in Montpellier in 1883, it was created exclusively for the scalp. At a time when French pharmacy and botanical science were flourishing, he combined fluid sulfur with 13 medicinal plants in a formula designed to help purify, rebalance and soothe scalps prone to discomfort.

The original label carried a simple promise:

"Au secours de vos cheveux."
"To the rescue of your hair."

More than 140 years later, La Lotion Triomphante remains the heart of Biophytum, inspiring every product, every ritual and every innovation that has followed.

The Original Scalp Ritual

Biophytum didn't begin as a haircare brand. It began as a scalp-care ritual.

From the beginning, our philosophy has been simple:

A healthier scalp creates the ideal environment for stronger roots and better-looking hair.

Today, that philosophy continues to guide every product, every ritual and every recommendation we make.

Dermo-Botanical Expertise

Since 1883, Biophytum has combined botanical knowledge with pharmaceutical thinking to develop formulas dedicated to the scalp.

Our approach is dermo-botanical: understanding the biology of the scalp, identifying the role each ingredient should perform and combining them into formulas designed to work.

Rather than relying on a single hero ingredient, every Biophytum formula brings together carefully selected botanical extracts with scientifically recognised actives, each chosen for a specific purpose within the formulation.

The result is a collection of efficacious scalp treatments developed to help purify, rebalance, protect and support the scalp's natural function—creating the ideal environment for stronger roots and healthier-looking hair.

Trust Earned Over Generations

The greatest proof of Biophytum is found in the people who continue to use it.

For decades, La Lotion Triomphante has been recommended by hairdressers, trusted by professionals and passed from one generation to the next.

Some customers have used the formula for more than twenty years.

Others discovered it through a parent, a grandparent or a trusted salon.

Trust isn't claimed. It's earned—one customer, one recommendation and one generation at a time.

Healthier hair still starts at the root.

The Biophytum Emblem

The bird that appears on every Biophytum package is the pink-backed shrike, a rare species once found around the Thau Basin near Montpellier.

Chosen as the emblem of Biophytum, it represents resilience, renewal and the enduring connection between nature and craftsmanship.

Like our formulas, it reflects a belief that has guided the brand for more than 140 years: lasting care begins with respect—for the scalp, for botanical knowledge and for the people who place their trust in us.
