About Biofrontera

Biofrontera (FSE: B8F, ISIN DE0006046113) is a biopharmaceutical Company specializing in the development, sale and distribution of drugs, medical devices and medical cosmetics for the care and treatment of skin diseases. Biofrontera's lead product is Ameluz®, a prescription drug which was initially approved and marketed in Europe and is now also approved in the U.S. in combination with its medical lamp BF-RhodoLED® for photodynamic therapy (PDT) treatment (light therapy) of mild and moderate actinic keratosis, a precursor to squamous cell carcinoma. Since January 2017 Ameluz® is also approved in the EU for the treatment of superficial and nodular basal cell carcinomas. Biofrontera is the first German pharmaceutical start-up Company to obtain centralized EU and now U.S. approval for a medical device/drug it has developed itself.

The Company also markets the Belixos® dermatological range of cosmetics. Belixos® products, a cream, a gel and a scalp tonic, contain combinations of active substances extracted from plants, relieve itching and redness and are used for the regenerative care of chronic skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis or psoriasis. Belixos® Protect, a daily skincare for sun-damaged skin, complements this dermo-cosmetic line. All Belixos® products are available in Europe through Amazon.

The Biofrontera Group was established in 1997 by Prof. Dr. Hermann Lübbert, the Chairman of the Company's Management Board, and has its headquarters in Leverkusen, Germany, and its US presence in Wakefield, MA.
