“Magnifiscience is the unique encounter between scientific research and cosmetology”. Behind this presentation, which sounds like an advertising slogan, hide a cosmetology company but also… Didier Raoult.
The Marseille professor, a great defender of hydroxychloroquine during the Covid crisis, sanctioned by the Order of Physicians last October, joined forces with Nina Basri, who presents herself as the “founder of an innovative cosmetic laboratory” , in a cosmetology start-up. The announcement was made through an Instagram post from the company.
“Magnifiscience is based on a common vision: using cutting-edge science to offer revolutionary skin care,” ensures the cosmetology company’s communication.
The one who, during his hearing by the Order of Physicians, assumed his positions on the merits took advantage of his own communication tools to promote his reconversion.
On his YouTube channel with 50,000 subscribers, Didier Raoult confides that he met his partner at the IHU, when she came to have his products tested. Raoult vante “the beauty products that it already sells to make products which would combine more traditional cosmetology, in any case already marketed, with products resulting from scientific knowledge”.
“So it’s an alliance between a very basic scientific approach with a very functional practical approach which gave rise to the birth of this new small start-up which will begin soon,” he summarizes in this video.
When he directed the IHU in Marseille, Professor Didier Raoult supervised scientific work with the aim of understanding the role of the microbiota in acne, he recalls, to justify his new professional direction.
As a reminder, the professor is banned from practicing medicine for two years from February 1. He is accused of having violated numerous articles of the public health code and, first of all, of having promoted hydroxychloroquine as a treatment against Covid even though the scientific community did not recommend it, due to solid data.
