- Biofrontera AG is a Germany-based biopharmaceutical company focused on the development, production, and distribution of dermatological therapeutics and related medical cosmetics. The company specializes in photodynamic therapy (PDT) for skin conditions, including actinic keratoses and certain skin cancers, and markets associated devices and topical formulations; its flagship offerings include Ameluz, a topical prescription drug used in PDT, and the BF-RhodoLED lamp system used to activate Ameluz, along with Belixos, a herbal-based dermatological cream for inflammatory and itchy skin conditions. Biofrontera operates across Europe, the United States, and other international markets, leveraging a multi-channel commercial framework to reach dermatology clinics, hospitals, and specialty distributors. The company was founded in 1991 and is headquartered in Leverkusen, Germany. In addition to its core prescription products, Biofrontera provides development and collaboration programs for dermatology products, and pursues ongoing expansions in Europe and North America through strategic partnerships and regional market access initiatives. Subsidiaries and affiliated entities support regional sales, regulatory compliance, and product distribution, with corporate governance anchored in its listed status on European exchanges under the ticker B8FK.DE. Latest corporate developments include strategic partnerships to broaden market presence in key territories, ongoing commercialization of Ameluz and BF-RhodoLED globally, and operational restructurings to optimize European cost structure and independence from Biofrontera Inc. to enhance profitability and growth in core markets. Biofrontera remains focused on acquiring regulatory approvals, advancing pipeline candidates related to dermatology, and expanding patient access to photodynamic therapy platforms.
