About the Brand
Brand logo
Founded in Paris in the late 1970s by biologist Yvan Allouche and physiotherapist Josette Allouche, Biologique Recherche began as a laboratory for bespoke, high-performance formulas for elite skin professionals. Their medical-grade precision and artisanal formulation, paired with consummate savoir-faire, underpin their reputation for outstanding, clinically proven results.

Biologique Recherche treats skin according to its Skin Instant©, the skin’s precise, evolving state. Each formula is loaded with active ingredients in exceptional concentrations, then prescribed to address those real-time needs. This precision approach corrects imbalances, restores function, and delivers visible, lasting transformation.

Cold-processed actives are the core of Biologique Recherche. Formulated at 18–25°C, this method avoids the 70°C heat of standard processing that breaks down actives. Botanical, marine, and biotechnological extracts stay intact for higher absorption, stronger repair, and better tolerance. Antioxidants, peptides, and enzymes remain stable, ensuring consistent, visible results.

The Benefits

  • - + Anti-Dandruff
  • - + Detoxifying
  • - + Colour-Protecting
  • - + Follicle Repair
  • - + Hydrating
Cleansing

Routine hair cleansing is essential for maintaining optimal scalp hygiene and supporting healthy hair growth dynamics. Regular washing effectively removes accumulated sebum, environmental pollutants, microbial contaminants, and residual hair care products, thereby reducing the risk of follicular blockage and inflammation.

Proper scalp cleansing contributes to the regulation of sebaceous gland activity, helping to maintain a balanced level of sebum that protects the scalp without contributing to excessive oiliness or microbial overgrowth. This is particularly important in the prevention of scalp disorders such as dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and folliculitis.

By preserving a clean and balanced scalp environment, regular cleansing supports the normalization of the hair growth cycle—including the anagen (growth), catagen (regression), and telogen (resting) phases—thereby promoting the growth of strong, healthy hair.

Anti-Dandruff

Anti-dandruff products tackle the common scalp issues of excessive shedding, flaking, irritation, and itching. Dandruff is often caused by factors like dry skin, fungal infections, or irritation from hair products. Anti-dandruff products use active ingredients to reduce fungal growth, regulate dead skin cell shedding, replenish dry skin, and calm irritation. This restores a healthy, balanced, and resilient scalp, effectively preventing dandruff from coming back, leaving your scalp feeling comfortable and refreshed.

Detoxifying

In haircare, detoxifying refers to the targeted removal of impurities, excess sebum, product buildup, and environmental pollutants from both the scalp and hair fibre. Daily exposure to urban pollution, heavy metals, and oxidative stress can clog hair follicles, disrupt the scalp’s natural balance, and damage the cuticle—leading to sensitivity, irritation, dullness, and weakened hair structure.

Detoxifying formulas use active ingredients with chelating, purifying, and antioxidant properties to draw out impurities, neutralise free radicals, and reinforce the scalp barrier. This process restores clarity and comfort to the scalp, rebalances oil production, and protects the hair from external aggressors.

The result is a clean, balanced scalp and stronger, more radiant hair that is better equipped to grow healthily and resist daily stressors.

Colour-Protecting

Colour Protection in haircare is essential for maintaining vibrancy, strength, and long-term hair health, especially after colouring or chemical treatments. Daily exposure to UV rays, frequent washing, and thermal styling can break down pigments, weaken the cuticle, and leave hair dull and fragile.

This is where targeted colour-protecting care becomes critical. By shielding the hair from oxidative stress and helping the cuticle scales remain closed, it helps lock in colour and preserve luminosity. Hair stays radiant and reflective, while structural damage caused by treatments like bleaching is reduced. With consistent use, coloured hair looks brighter for longer, feels stronger, and is better protected against future fading and external aggressors.

Follicle Repair

Hair follicle repair restores optimal growth and density by reactivating dormant follicles and balancing the hair growth cycle. Ageing, stress, and hormonal imbalances can shorten the anagen (growth) phase and prolong the telogen (resting) phase, leading to thinning. Repairing follicles involves stimulating dermal papilla cells, enhancing blood circulation, and supporting keratin synthesis to strengthen the hair’s structure. By reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, follicles regain their ability to produce thicker, stronger, and healthier hair over time.

Hydrating

Hydrating your hair means boosting its water content to ensure strands stay resilient, flexible, and healthy. Proper hydration is key to preserving the integrity of your hair's cuticle. When well-hydrated, the cuticle lies flat and smooth, creating a barrier against environmental damage and reducing friction between strands, which results in less tangling and a smoother texture. Heat styling, sun exposure, and harsh chemical treatments can strip your hair of its natural moisture. Using gentle haircare products designed to hydrate without weighing your hair down helps prevent dryness, brittleness, and breakage while enhancing shine and making your hair more manageable.

Copper

Copper supports the scalp metabolism and oxygenation, thus maintaining a healthier hair follicle function, which in turn allows the hair to have more vitality and to have more density.

Sarcosine

Sarcosine is a sebum-regulating amino-acid derivative that helps control excess oil production on the scalp over time. By supporting a more balanced sebum flow without disrupting the skin’s natural barrier, it helps maintain a cleaner, fresher scalp while avoiding the dryness and tightness often caused by harsh cleansing agents.

Yeast Extract

Yeast Extract is a bioactive complex composed of mineral salts, carbohydrates, lipids, and B vitamins, particularly Vitamin B-complex, known for supporting skin and scalp integrity. It offers rebalancing properties, regulating both sebum production and hydration, making it ideal for oily or dry scalps. On a cellular level, it stimulates phagocytosis and lysosome formation in keratinocytes, enhancing detoxification and promoting a clearer, more radiant appearance.

Colour Protect Complex

The Colour Protect Complex consists of Tara tannins, which are rich in polyphenols that act as powerful antioxidants, forming a protective film around the hair shaft and neutralising free radicals generated by UV, pollution and heat styling. This prevents the breakdown of both melanin (natural pigment) and artificial colour molecules inside the fibre. The young sunflower sprout extract reinforces this protection by preserving the integrity of the hair’s internal lipids and proteins, which keeps the cuticle smoother and less porous — and the smoother the cuticle, the longer colour stays locked in. Together, they slow down photo-oxidation, reduce fibre oxidation, and help maintain vibrancy, shine and tonal fidelity over time.

Tetraselmis Suecica Extract

Tetraselmis Suecica Extract is a nutrient-rich microalgae, is naturally high in minerals and antioxidants that help protect the scalp from environmental stress and oxidative damage. By reinforcing the scalp’s natural defence mechanisms, it supports comfort, resilience and overall scalp health, helping maintain a balanced environment for healthier-looking hair.

Glycerin

Glycerin is a powerful humectant that attracts and retains hydration within the scalp and hair, helping to maintain optimal hydration levels. By preventing dryness and irritation, it supports scalp comfort while leaving the hair softer, smoother and more resilient after cleansing.

Zinc

Zinc Extract offers potent healing, astringent and antimicrobial properties. It helps regulate hormone-triggered oil production, effectively regulating excess sebum on the scalp. It also aids in the reduction of scalp imbalance, which causes the dandruff, allowing for a healthier scalp environment.

Spotlight

Dandruff

Dandruff is a common dermatological condition characterised by the presence of white or yellowish flakes of desquamated stratum corneum on the scalp. It is frequently accompanied by pruritus (itching) and may extend beyond the scalp to affect adjacent areas.

The pathophysiology of dandruff involves a complex interaction between sebaceous gland activity, individual immune response, and the microbiome of the scalp, particularly the overgrowth of the yeast-like fungus Malassezia spp., which is lipophilic and thrives in sebum-rich environments. This fungus is a normal commensal of human skin, but under certain conditions, it can proliferate excessively and disrupt the balance of the skin barrier.

In response to the irritation caused by Malassezia metabolites (e.g., oleic acid), the skin may increase sebum production and accelerate epidermal cell turnover. This leads to the accumulation and rapid shedding of corneocytes, which combine with excess oil and fungal elements to form visible flakes. These components can further irritate the skin, perpetuating a cycle of inflammation and scaling.
