# MICROBIONIC ## Facts | | | |---|---| | Origin | Germany | | Headquarters | Hagen | | Owner | MEDIBOND Healthcare GmbH | | Status | Active | | Manufacturing | Germany | | Distribution | Direct to consumer | | Website | https://microbionic.de/cosmetics/ | MICROBIONIC is a German health and personal-care brand owned by MEDIBOND Healthcare GmbH, a company based in Hagen [3]. It began as a label for lifestyle supplements and later added a small range of face care: four serums and four creams, built around familiar active ingredients such as niacinamide, vitamin C, retinol and bakuchiol. The brand presents itself as working in both areas, with products for physical performance, mental fitness and demanding skincare, all made in Germany [9]. The brand is active. Its online shop is live and selling the full face-care range, and the cosmetics are still described there as new to the assortment [5]. The year the MICROBIONIC label was launched has not been published, and neither has the year the cosmetics line was introduced. ## Origin & founders The brand's own account starts with the company behind it rather than with the label. According to MICROBIONIC, the current owner of the business got talking with pharmacy experts in the mid-2000s, and the idea of entering the health market followed quickly [2]. The founders are not named; the company refers only to "the current business owner". Shortly afterwards, MEDIBOND GmbH was founded to make the group's first products of its own. The company says these focused on health products sold through pharmacies, and that its pharmacy range of food supplements and medicines has since become a fixture in many pharmacies. It describes the team as having more than 15 years of experience in developing health products. ## History & milestones The group was restructured in 2019, when Medibond Healthcare GmbH was founded [2]. The company says the restructuring brought in production specialists, scientific advisers from the natural and nutritional sciences, and staff for product development and purchasing. The MICROBIONIC label came out of this later phase. Its first preparations were lifestyle supplements, and the company says its in-house team devoted itself to developing them. No date is given for these first products, so the brand's own founding year remains unknown. The 2019 date belongs to the operating company, not to the label. Face care arrived later still. The brand's shop lists serums and face creams alongside the supplements and calls the cosmetics new to the range, again without a launch year [5]. For a time the brand also ran an editorial blog, the MicroMagazine, with articles on sleep, energy, weight and nutrition. Its most recent dated posts are from 22 May 2023 [8]. ## Ownership MICROBIONIC belongs to MEDIBOND Healthcare GmbH, whose registered address is in Hagen, in western Germany [3]. The brand's websites carry a copyright line naming the brand as "Microbionic by MEDIBOND Healthcare GmbH" [1]. No acquisitions involving the brand are documented, and no other consumer brands are listed under the same owner. ## Philosophy & positioning MICROBIONIC's tagline is "Join the healthy community", and its mission, as the company puts it, is to give everyone the chance to be part of an active community. The About page lists four values the team says it lives by in daily work and in its products: sustainability, diversity, authenticity and responsibility. For the cosmetics, the brand describes an approach that combines gentle natural ingredients with active care ingredients, so that customers can build a routine around their own needs. It says each product is meant to support the skin's natural balance and to be mild enough for daily use [1]. Three promises recur across the brand's pages. The first is German origin: the company states that its products are developed in Germany and produced to strict German quality requirements [2]. The second is testing, with MICROBIONIC saying that samples from every batch are voluntarily checked by an independent, accredited German laboratory [2]. The third is transparency, which the brand defines as full declaration of ingredients. It also says its formulas are based on study evidence. The same positioning appears in the brand's description on the review platform Trusted Shops, which presents MICROBIONIC as a brand for supplements and cosmetics whose products are made in Germany and laboratory-tested [9]. That description is supplied by the company itself. ## Products & innovation The face-care range is small and evenly split. Four serums each centre on a single active ingredient, while four creams cover day, night and sun protection. The serums are the clearest expression of the brand's ingredient-led approach: - **Niacinamide Serum** contains 10% niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, together with zinc PCA, hyaluronic acid, aloe vera and ectoin. The brand says it is 98.5% natural ingredients as measured under ISO 16128, an international standard for calculating natural content [5]. - **Vitamin C Complex Serum** combines three forms of vitamin C for a total of 11%, which the company presents as a care complex for a fresh, even-looking complexion. - **Retinol Serum** uses 0.5% retinyl palmitate, a milder relative of retinol, which the brand chose for better tolerance. - **Bakuchiol Serum** contains 1% bakuchiol, a plant-derived ingredient the company offers as a gentle alternative to retinol. The creams follow the same pattern of named actives. Care & Protect Creme is a day cream with broad-spectrum SPF 30 sun protection and antioxidants such as astaxanthin and vitamin E. Hydration Intense Creme is designed for dry and sensitive skin; it uses what the company calls a Triple Hydration Complex, with aloe vera, ectoin and hyaluronic acid. It is the one product the brand describes as fragrance-free and as meeting natural-cosmetics requirements. Regeneration Night Repair Creme is a richer night cream with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and ectoin. A fourth cream, Skin Complex Silky Care Creme, is a lighter day cream. The cosmetics pages carry badges marking the products as vegan, made without animal testing and free of silicones. No third-party certifications are documented, and no certifying body is named for the vegan or animal-testing claims. ## Current status MICROBIONIC is active. As of 2026, the brand's shop offers all eight face-care products alongside its supplements, and the site carries a 2026 copyright line [5]. The brand's online presence is in German. Its editorial blog has not published a dated article since May 2023, but the shop itself is maintained and current. ## Timeline {#belagg-timeline} | Year | Event | Source | |---|---|---| | 2019 | Restructuring and founding of Medibond Healthcare GmbH | https://microbionic.de/about | | — | Mid-2000s: the current owner talks with pharmacy experts, and MEDIBOND GmbH is founded shortly afterwards for pharmacy health products (no exact year given) | https://microbionic.de/about | | — | Production of the first preparations under the MICROBIONIC® label: lifestyle supplements (no year given) | https://microbionic.de/about | | — | Cosmetics line (serums and face creams) added and described on the shop as new to the range (no year given) | https://microbionic.de/cosmetics/shop/ | ## Signature products {#belagg-products} - **Niacinamide Serum** — Mit 10% Niacinamide – eine effektive Konzentration für die optimale Pflege 98,5% natürliche Inhaltsstoffe (gemäß ISO 16128) — https://microbionic.de/cosmetics/shop/ - **Care & Protect Creme SPF 30** — Die Tagespflege kombiniert Sonnenschutz und Antioxidantien in der Tagesroutine. — https://microbionic.de/cosmetics/ - **Hydration Intense Creme** — Die Formulierung basiert auf natürlichen Inhaltsstoffen, ist parfumfrei, 100% vegan und entspricht den Vorgaben der Naturkosmetik. — https://microbionic.de/cosmetics/shop/ - **Vitamin C Complex Serum** — Entdecke unser Vitamin C Complex Serum mit insgesamt 11% Vitamin C in einer sorgfältig abgestimmten 3-fach-Kombination. — https://microbionic.de/cosmetics/shop/ ## Key ingredients {#belagg-ingredients} Retinol (as retinyl palmitate) · Niacinamide · Vitamin C · Bakuchiol · Ectoin · Hyaluronic acid · Aloe vera · Ceramides Source: https://microbionic.de/cosmetics/seren/ ## Proprietary technologies & patents {#belagg-tech} - Triple Hydration Complex — https://microbionic.de/cosmetics/shop/ ## Sources 1.
