Belixos now available through Amazon in Germany and UK 
Leverkusen, 18 August 2014 - Biofrontera (AIM/FSE:B8F), the European biopharmaceutical company, announces that its derma-cosmetics products Belixos Crme and Belixos Liquid are now available on Amazon.de and Amazon.uk. 
Both Belixos products contain valuable ingredients extracted in a complex and very gentle process from Mahonia aquifolium, a medicinal plant that has been used for centuries by North American Indians. In the crme this is supplemented by the antibacterial properties of green tea and the soothing effects of chamomile to create a unique active ingredient combination. Moisturizing oat, urea and the zinc-PCA complex against dandruff complement the Mahonia extract in Belixos Liquid. With their innovative biocolloid formulations Belixos products provide a balanced combination of active substances.
The sound scientific basis behind Belixos and the unique combination of valuable plant ingredients are intended to set new standards in the highly competitive active cosmetics market. In people suffering from itchiness or chronic ailments, such as atopic dermatitis or psoriasis, the combination of caring and regenerative effects may reduce the need for medical treatment. 
The Belixos product range is gradually being expanded. The first of the new products, the scalp tonic Belixos Liquid, was launched at the beginning of 2014, Belixos Gel and Belixos Protect are to follow in the course of the year. The gel is intended as regenerative daily care for skin with acne and rosacea, Belixos Protect is a day cream for photodamaged skin with protective anti-aging properties.
Prof. Hermann Lbbert, Chief Executive Officer of Biofrontera commented: "The UK is the first country outside Germany in which we have made our Belixos products available. Amazon provides a perfect platform to offer these products to a wide group of people seeking care for itching or inflamed skin. We advise everybody who experiences itching after a mosquito bite or due to eczema, or who has a sunburn, to give Belixos Crme a chance."
