“Working with DFP World and Afrique DistriHub allows us to ensure dermatological expertise and brand consistency are delivered to travellers throughout the African continent – in line with Naos’ commitment to ecobiological, science-driven skincare.”

The agreement underscores Bioderma’s commitment to controlled, brand-led expansion in frontier markets, with DFP World providing the regional execution platform through Afrique Duty-Free.
