EAU THERMALE Avène

Since 1743, when the first Hydrotherapy Centre was built near the Sainte-Odile spring, the vocation of Avène has never changed: The Hydrotherapy Centre is entirely dedicated to dermatology. The therapeutic properties of Avène Thermal Spring Water has been used at the Hydrotherapy Centre to address a variety of dermatological conditions and skin concerns such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema and burns.

The brand is centered around Avène Thermal spring water and its soothing properties. Originating as rain, the water filters through the Cévennes Mountains absorbing precious minerals and trace elements for 40 years until it reaches the mouth of the ancient Sainte-Odile spring. Its unique composition makes Avène Thermal Spring Water ideally suited for the care and management of sensitive skin. Over 300 stringent biological, pharmacological and clinical studies on Avène Thermal Spring Water have been conducted by the Company and independent researchers to substantiate the skin soothing and anti-irritating benefits.

Providing a full range of skincare products dedicated to sensitive skin. Launched in 1990, the Eau Thermale Avène skincare brand was created to capture the same healing benefits to soothe sensitive skins worldwide. Formulated with Avène Thermal Spring Water and bottled directly from the source of the spring, the Eau Thermale Avène skincare brand addresses the needs of all types of sensitive skin.
