BioNike was founded in Italy in the 1960s. It focuses on very sensitive skin that needs protection from environmental elements. They achieve this by ensuring that all products are ‘allergen free’ and so are fragrance free, gluten free, preservative free and are nickel tested. This helps to ensure that the products do not irritate the skin but instead help to heal it.

Another reason why BioNike has been successful is because of the close relationship they have with skin specialists such as dermatologists and beauty therapists. It is from them that they get a better understanding of the skin problems that ordinary people deal with and find ways of making them better.

BioNike has three product lines which are Defence, Triderm and Proxera. The BioNike Defence line of products is suitable for sensitive skin that needs to be defended and protected against the harshness of the outside environment. The Defence line will cleanse and hydrate your skin. In addition, localised skin blemishes are also targeted by the specialised formula to help give skin an even tone.

For those with very sensitive skin that is hyper-reactive, there is the Triderm line of products. It is recommended for those suffering from skin ailments such as dermatitis and psoriasis.

The Proxera line is for very dry skin and for those who suffer from xerosis, which is a condition in which a person loses up to 25% of their normal skin water content.

BioNike products can be found in Dischem stores and other selected retailers around South Africa.
