Founded in the late 1970s by a family of artisanal skincare experts, Biologique Recherche came about through the passion of biologist and physiotherapist duo Yvan and Josette Allouche.
Their consummate savoir-faire and visionary approach underpin the brand’s reputation for effectiveness and outstanding products.
They devised an exclusive, customized methodology of cosmetic treatments adapted to every Skin Instant© and based on products with a high concentration of active ingredients. Biologique Recherche operated as a research and development lab, focusing exclusively on formulating products for beauty professionals who were disappointed by the products available at that time.
In 1992 Biologique Recherche set up its Ambassade in the heart of Paris, in one of the rare historic private hotels on the Champs Elysées. From its quiet inner courtyard, away from the bustle of the streets, only the open carriage gate gives a sense of the Champs Elysées just beyond...
Since its inception, the Ambassade in Paris has been Biologique Recherche’s showcase to the world, where the brand vaunts all its expertise. It brings together under one roof the warmly welcoming beauty institute, where clients from around the world enjoy uniquely personalized skincare treatments, and the Josette Allouche Academy, a training center where Biologique Recherche’s savoir-faire is passed on to estheticians from abroad. As the true seat of the brand, it’s the repository of all the specialist skills, exacting standards and long experience built up by Biologique Recherche.
Building on its 2019 success, the Josette Allouche Academy has expanded to welcome estheticians and doctors from around the world brought together by a passion for beauty.
