We defend the skin, combining high efficacy with maximum dermo-affinity, representing the best choice for skin health and beauty for consumers, dermatologists and pharmacists.

OUR FORMULATION PHILOSOPHY

Our greatest challenge is to combine high performance with maximum respect for sensitive skin.

At BioNike we have always had a fundamental mission: to achieve the best balance between high performance and high tolerability.

Our commitment to sensitive skin has been our hallmark since our inception and is embodied in the formulation philosophy of Free From, the basis of all BioNike creations.

This philosophy implies the use of pure functional active ingredients that are beneficial to the skin, while totally eliminating ingredients that cause allergic reactions.

Our formulations are in fact Preservative Free, Perfume Free (or Allergen Free) and Nickel Tested. ​ ​

​We believe it is possible to combine effectiveness and gentleness, for the good of even the most sensitive skin.

OUR ROOTS

From the very beginning, we have been the pioneering brand for the care of sensitive, intolerant and hyper-reactive skin.

From the Greek Bio=Life and Nike=Victory, BioNike means ‘Victory of Life’ and carries this important promise in its etymology. ​
​
The brand belongs to Icim International, an Italian pharmaceutical company founded in Milan in the 1930s. ​
​
BioNike was founded in 1960 from the intuition of an enlightened entrepreneur and pharmacist who realised how useful dermocosmetics could be to support the treatments prescribed by dermatologists.​
​
BioNike was the first brand in Italy to talk to dermatologists about contact allergies triggered by cosmetics due to the presence of heavy metals in the formulations and the first brand to refine a method capable of releasing infinitesimal quantities of Nickel.​
​
This has enabled us to create ‘Nickel Tested’ dermo-cosmetics, formulated even for the most sensitive skin. ​
​
Over the years, we have defined an ever more rigorous and excellent formulation philosophy, culminating in the Philosophy of Free From.

All our creations are formulated preservative-free and fragrance-free (or with allergen-free perfume), totally eliminating ingredients identified in scientific literature as causing allergic skin reactions. ​
​
A great and extraordinary commitment on the part of our research laboratory to combine the highest standards of performance and sensoriality with maximum dermo-affinity for sensitive skin.​
​
With the aim of being the consumer's trusted brand and the pharmacist's and dermatologist's partner of choice, we have constantly brought high-value innovation to extend our range, which currently has over 500 products in the dermocosmetic and nutraceutical world and is constantly expanding. ​
​
BioNike is today the leader in Dermocosmetics in pharmacy and is part of the Sodalis Group, one of Europe's leading independent personal care, health and beauty groups. ​
