✨ ABOUT BIOVOLTÉ & ITS INGREDIENTS
Q: What makes BIOVOLTÉ’s ingredients different from other skincare brands?
A: Every BIOVOLTÉ formula starts with LevensESSENTIE™ — a 22-herb extract first created by Paul Penders’ grandmother over a century ago in her Dutch salon. She called it the Essence of Life — a tradition that continues in every bottle today. Each ingredient is chosen for purity, efficacy, and harmony with skin biology — never for marketing trend or convenience.
Q: Are your ingredients certified organic or naturally sourced?
A: Yes. We prioritize certified organic, ECOCERT- and COSMOS-compliant ingredients, sourced responsibly from around the world — hibiscus from Egypt, tremella mushrooms from Japan, and squalane from sustainable sugarcane. Even our functional components — emulsifiers, thickeners, and preservatives — are globally recognized for safety.
Q: What preservatives and stabilizers do you use?
A: We use only organic-approved systems such as gluconolactone and sodium benzoate. We never use parabens, formaldehyde donors, synthetic colors, or harsh alcohols.
Q: Are BIOVOLTÉ products safe for all religions?
A: Yes. BIOVOLTÉ is formulated to be Halal, Kosher, Vegan, and Cruelty-Free — free of alcohol, animal by-products, and unethical ingredients. Paul Penders pioneered this philosophy decades ago, creating one of the first global beauty lines that respected every belief system.
Q: Do you test on animals?
A: Never. BIOVOLTÉ’s founder, Paul Penders, was one of Europe’s first formulators to refuse animal testing — even when pressured by the Dutch FDA. He chose to close his factory rather than compromise ethics, later relocating production to Ireland to stay true to his convictions. That same spirit of compassion defines BIOVOLTÉ today.
Q: What certifications support your ethical claims?
A: Paul Penders products have achieved EWG VERIFIED™, American Vegan Association, and other international certifications — among the strictest in the world. BIOVOLTÉ continues this legacy by formulating according to the same standards: transparent labeling, full ingredient disclosure, and zero tolerance for harmful chemicals.
Q: What is the philosophy behind BIOVOLTÉ?
A: To create beauty that honors life — human, animal, and planet alike. Paul Penders built his career on four principles:
• Freedom to create without compromise
• Integrity over profit
• Respect for life
• Science guided by nature
BIOVOLTÉ is the next chapter of that story — modern, scientific, and deeply ethical skincare.
Q: How does this history connect to modern BIOVOLTÉ?
A: BIOVOLTÉ represents the evolution of a lifelong mission. From a Dutch salon to global botanical research — Africa, China, and South America — Paul Penders explored nature’s most potent remedies. BIOVOLTÉ combines that heritage with new barrier science: electrolytes, mushrooms, and 22 heritage herbs that strengthen the skin from within.
Q: Why can consumers trust BIOVOLTÉ?
A: Because its integrity is proven by history.
“When they told me animal testing was mandatory, I refused — even if it meant losing everything. True beauty must never come at the cost of life.”
— Paul Penders, Founder
Every BIOVOLTÉ product is a continuation of that promise — pure, ethical, effective, and real.
🌍 FOR ALL SKIN TYPES & CONDITIONS
Q11: Can I use BIOVOLTÉ if I have oily skin?
A: Yes. The MIST hydrates without heaviness, and the DEW is non-comedogenic. It balances oil by strengthening your barrier. Use only one to two drops of DEW and pat gently until absorbed.
Q12: What if I have combination (mixed) skin?
A: Apply 2 drops of DEW on drier areas (like cheeks) and 1 drop or less for oilier zones. The system adapts beautifully because each step delivers exactly what your skin needs.
Q13: Is it good for dry skin?
A: Absolutely. BIOVOLTÉ restores water loss and lipid imbalance — key causes of dryness. The DEW locks in hydration without greasiness, unlike heavy creams.
Q14: What about sensitive skin?
A: Both products are free from alcohol, silicones, and synthetic fragrances. The herbal blend calms redness while mushrooms and electrolytes reduce irritation. Always patch-test if your skin is reactive.
Q15: Can it help dull, tired-looking skin?
A: Yes. Niacinamide in MIST boosts micro-circulation, while Bakuchiol and CoQ10 in DEW energize cells for renewed radiance and even tone.
Q16: Is it suitable for mature skin?
A: Definitely. The dual-step system helps replenish the moisture and lipid decline that comes with age, improving elasticity, softness, and glow.
Q17: Can men use BIOVOLTÉ?
A: Yes. It’s gender-neutral, fast-absorbing, and fragrance-light. Men appreciate its non-greasy texture and quick skin recovery after shaving.
Q18: Is it safe for teens?
A: Yes. For young skin, the system supports hydration balance and strengthens the barrier, helping reduce oil fluctuations and mild breakouts.
Q19: Can I use it if I have acne-prone skin?
A: Yes, but use sparingly — MIST for hydration, DEW only 1 drop as a seal. The ingredients calm inflammation without clogging pores.
Q20: Is it okay for rosacea or eczema?
A: Users find it soothing, but consult a dermatologist before using on active inflammation. Start slowly and observe tolerance.
🧴 USAGE & APPLICATION
Q21: When should I apply BIOVOLTÉ?
A: Use both morning and evening, right after cleansing. MIST first, then DEW to seal moisture in.
Q22: Can I use MIST alone?
A: Yes — MIST is a complete hydrating essence by itself, also during the day, but pairing it with DEW ensures the hydration stays locked in longer.
Q23: Can I use DEW alone?
A: Yes, especially at night or in colder climates, but pairing with MIST enhances results by prepping the skin with electrolytes and moisture.
Q24: How much DEW should I use?
A: For Southeast Asian or tropical climates: no more than one or two drops. For colder or dry climates: adjust as needed until skin feels comfortable.
Q25: How should I apply DEW?
A: Warm it between your palms, then gently press over your face and neck until fully absorbed — never rub.
Q26: Can I use BIOVOLTÉ under makeup?
A: Yes. MIST preps skin beautifully, and DEW gives a natural glow without interfering with foundation.
Q27: Do I still need a moisturizer or serum?
A: No additional moisturizer is needed. BIOVOLTÉ acts as both a hydration system and barrier-strengthening treatment.
Q28: Can I use it with retinol or vitamin C?
A: Yes. Apply MIST first, then your treatment, and seal with DEW. It helps reduce irritation from strong actives.
Q29: Can I use it after exfoliation or peeling?
A: Yes, both steps help calm, restore, and rebalance the skin barrier immediately after exfoliation.
Q30: How long will a bottle last?
A: MIST (50 ml) lasts about 1.5 months; DEW (30 ml) about 2 months with normal daily use.
☀️ CLIMATE, LIFESTYLE & ENVIRONMENT
Q31: Is BIOVOLTÉ good for humid climates like the Philippines, Thailand, or Florida?
A: Yes. It’s designed for tropical humidity too — MIST hydrates without stickiness, and DEW seals lightly with breathable lipids. Use no more than one or two drops.
Q32: What about dry or cold climates (Europe, Japan, Canada)?
A: Use both steps, but double the MIST and add extra DEW to prevent moisture loss from indoor heating or wind exposure.
Q33: Can I travel with it?
A: Yes. Both bottles are travel-safe sizes. MIST refreshes the skin during flights, while DEW protects against dehydration.
Q34: Does it help with skin stressed by air-conditioning?
A: Yes, this is one of its strengths. Electrolytes and humectants in MIST restore moisture continuously, preventing tightness from dry air.
Q35: Is it okay for hot, sweaty conditions?
A: Yes. Both formulas are lightweight, absorb fast, and don’t block pores.
Q36: Is it vegan and cruelty-free?
A: Yes. No animal testing, no animal-derived ingredients — 100% vegan-friendly.
Q37: Is it reef-safe or environmentally friendly?
A: Yes. It’s made from biodegradable ingredients and recyclable packaging, with minimal water footprint.
Q38: Can I store it in the fridge?
A: Optional — it can enhance the refreshing feel of MIST but isn’t necessary for product stability.
Q39: Can I mix BIOVOLTÉ with other brands?
A: It works best as a complete system — MIST then DEW. Layering too many products may dilute its efficacy.
Q40: Does it expire?
A: Shelf life is 24 months unopened and 6–9 months once opened. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
✨ RESULTS & EXPECTATIONS
Q41: Will it make my skin glow?
A: When the skin barrier is strong and hydrated, natural luminosity returns without artificial shine.
Q42: Can it reduce fine lines?
A: Over time, yes. Hydration plumps the skin, while CoQ10 and Bakuchiol help improve firmness and texture.
Q43: Can it help pigmentation or uneven tone?
A: Niacinamide and antioxidants support a more even complexion, though BIOVOLTÉ is not a bleaching product.
Q44: Will it make pores smaller?
A: Healthy hydration makes pores appear less visible. Niacinamide and AHAs in MIST refine texture over time.
Q45: Can I expect visible improvement in the first week?
A: Yes. Most users notice improved smoothness, suppleness, and less dryness within days.
Q46: Does it cause purging or breakouts?
A: Unlikely. It contains no occlusive oils or heavy silicones. If you overapply DEW, reduce to fewer drops.
Q47: What if I feel sticky after use?
A: That’s a sign you’re using too much DEW or not allowing the MIST to absorb before layering. Use less and press gently.
Q48: Can I use BIOVOLTÉ long-term?
A: Absolutely — it’s designed for continuous use. The more consistently you use it, the stronger your skin barrier becomes.
Q49: Can I use it on body areas like the neck or hands?
A: Yes, it’s excellent for the neck, décolleté, and even the backs of hands, where the skin barrier is often thinner.
Q50: What’s the one thing BIOVOLTÉ users say most?
A: “My skin feels alive again.” Because it’s not just hydrated — it’s re-energized from within.
⚡ BIOVOLTÉ OBJECTIONS & REBUTTALS
BIOVOLTÉ MIST
Objection 1: “It’s just water in a spray.”
Rebuttal: Ordinary mists are mostly water. BIOVOLTÉ MIST is powered by 5 electrolytes, 22 heritage herbs, and 3 adaptogenic mushrooms. These bio-actives reactivate the skin barrier and prepare cells to absorb nutrients — something plain water cannot do.
Objection 2: “Mists dry out the skin.”
Rebuttal: That is true for water-heavy sprays. But BIOVOLTÉ MIST is different: electrolytes draw water into the skin, while herbal and mushroom actives strengthen the barrier. Instead of increasing TEWL, it switches on hydration pathways.
Objection 3: “Why should I use it between cleansing and cream?”
Rebuttal: BIOVOLTÉ MIST is not a cosmetic extra — it’s the first step in hydration activation. It primes the skin, like wetting a sponge before adding nutrients. Without it, creams and oils can’t absorb as effectively.
Objection 4: “It has to be shaken — doesn’t that mean it’s unstable?”
Rebuttal: The two-phase system is deliberate. It keeps phases (herbs, electrolytes, mushrooms) pure until the moment of use. Shaking fuses them instantly, creating a fresh, active formula every time.
BIOVOLTÉ DEW
Objection 1: “Oils feel greasy; they don’t sink in.”
Rebuttal: DEW is a dual-phase elixir with 90 % squalane — a biomimetic oil almost identical to skin’s natural sebum. It absorbs quickly, leaving no heavy film, only soft comfort, even in a tropical environment and for oily skin.
Objection 2: “I already use a moisturizer — why add DEW?”
Rebuttal: Traditional moisturizers rely mostly on water, glycerin, and a few other ingredients that evaporate quickly. DEW works differently: electrolytes and herbs hydrate from within, while squalane locks it in. That means less product, longer-lasting effect, and a noticeable glow.
Objection 3: “It’s expensive for a small bottle.”
Rebuttal: DEW is highly concentrated — just 2–3 drops are enough. A 30 ml bottle lasts many weeks of daily use. Compared to a cream you need to apply liberally, DEW is more efficient per application.
BIOVOLTÉ TOGETHER: MIST + DEW
Objection 1: “It feels like too many steps.”
Rebuttal: It’s just two steps — far less than a K-beauty 10-step routine. MIST and DEW form a scientific hydration circuit: first activate, then seal. Simple, logical, and more effective than creams alone.
Objection 2: “The science sounds like marketing hype.”
Rebuttal: The principles come from dermatology research (Dr. Albert Kligman, TEWL studies, skin-barrier science). Electrolytes are clinically proven to draw water into cells, and adaptogenic mushrooms are recognized for balancing hydration. This is science-backed, not marketing talk.
Objection 3: “So many herbs — what about skin reactions?”
Rebuttal: The LevensESSENTIE™ blend has been safely used for decades in Paul Penders formulations worldwide. All products are time-tested, 100 % vegan, natural, and organic, and follow EU and USA FDA cosmetic safety standards.
Seal in the glow — the final step to lasting hydration.
