Does Bioderma Use Microplastics?
The short answer
Most Bioderma products we could analyse listed at least one flagged synthetic polymer. Of the 47 Bioderma products on Open Beauty Facts with a readable ingredient list, 34 listed at least one flagged synthetic polymer — 72%. The one that came up most was PEG (Polyethylene Glycol), in 17 of them.

What this is. Ingredient-label data from Open Beauty Facts (snapshot 2026-07-31), not laboratory testing. Coverage is crowdsourced, partial and Europe-weighted, so this is 47 of the 92 Bioderma entries in that database, and US formulations often differ. A flagged ingredient is not automatically harmful — a gel thickener and a solid microbead are both synthetic polymers and are not the same risk.
