Bioelements Skin Care: Since 1991, the Bioelements skin care line has delivered results-oriented, esthetic excellence. And it didn’t just happen by chance. Unlike other anti-aging skin care lines that were created around the name of a doctor or built on “gimmicks,” Bioelements is the true creation of an esthetician – Barbara Salomone. Salomone assembled a team of skin care specialists, including cosmetic chemists and expert estheticians – to ensure every product contains the most effective ingredients available.
