Science & Research

At BABOR, research means stretching one’s own boundaries, thinking outside the box and always keeping an open mind about future discoveries.

Our extensive R&D work begins with a beauty problem. We conduct research to find solutions to very specific skin problems and needs.

Teams of interdisciplinary experts – including dermatologists, geneticists, biochemists, molecular biologists, doctors and diabetes specialists work closely with renowned universities and other leading scientific establishments to constantly create groundbreaking innovations.

A key hallmark of our work is the respect we show towards nature and its precious active substances.

Consequently, we use raw materials that are obtained from controlled organic cultivation and are based on renewable resources. Since the company’s founding in 1956, BABOR has expressly renounced animal testing. It goes without saying that in future BABOR will not conduct or commission any animal experiments to test its products.
Our high quality and purity requirements as regards raw materials and strict quality controls guarantee a very high degree/level of security and quality of our products.

• PEGs (polyethylen glycols)
• synthetic silicon oils
• mineral oils that irritate the skin
• paraffins and paraffin derivatives
