About Us
Joel Drai is a renowned entrepreneur and founder of MEGA BIOPHARMA & BLUE SKINCARE.
In 1992, Joel Drai created and developed MEGA Dental, specializing in the distribution of dental and orthodontic supplies, which quickly became a leader with a 52% market share in the French domestic market, with over €160m in revenues. MEGA Dental has partnered with Henry SCHEIN, the world leader in dental.
Through the activity of MEGA Dental, Joel Drai met Drs Serge and Georges Camprasse, twin brothers from French Guadeloupe, and decided to invest in their research activities on a new biomaterial for the biomedical sector: mother-of-pearl.
From the beginning of the 1980s, they began research on various biomaterials. Then began decades of research (fundamental and applied) to understand the functioning of the oyster, the composition of mother-of-pearl, its structure, and its properties to make the most of it and maximize its potential medical applications.
The discoveries of Drs. Camprasse have aroused the medical community’s interest; they have also been the subject of many scientific publications. Their meeting with Joel Drai in 2009 is at the origin of the creation of MEGA BIOPHARMA, with the construction of their R&D lab near Le Mans where scores of POC on nacre efficacy have been tested successfully.

Since 2019, Didier Bensadoun, a finance industry expert (26 years as a Managing Director and CEO at Cantor Fitzgerald Capital Markets in New York, London, and Hong Kong) and a serial entrepreneur, joined forces to implement go-to-market strategies of innovative products generated by the company patented breakthrough technology.
Didier is an experienced President & CEO with a demonstrated history of working in finance & the internet industry. Strong business development professional skilled in Negotiation, Management, Trading, Structured Finance, and Hedge Funds.


The company has now 7 full-time employees and 4 external consultants.
For more than 25 years, the Drs. Camprasse have participated in more than 400 dental, orthopedic, and dermatological interventions. The company has also created an independent division, BLUE SKINCARE, dedicated to launching online and in pharmacies, a clean dermo-cosmetics brand in January 2023.
