Avène Eau Thermale thermal spring water spray

Avène Eau Thermale is a world-renowned dermatological skincare brand rooted in the therapeutic properties of the Avène Thermal Spring, located in the Hérault region of southern France. The spring's healing properties were first discovered in 1736, and the site became a recognized hydrotherapy center by the late 18th century. Today, the brand is famous for its Thermal Spring Water Spray, which is formulated for sensitive, hypersensitive, and allergic skin.

The brand's products are manufactured at a specialized production plant in Avène, France, which is directly connected to the spring to ensure the water's biological and chemical purity remains intact from source to packaging. The facility is a pharmaceutical-grade plant that handles 90% of the brand's production locally to minimize environmental impact and maintain strict quality control.

Avène is owned by Pierre Fabre Laboratories (Laboratoires Pierre Fabre), the second-largest dermo-cosmetics company in the world and the second-largest private pharmaceutical group in France. The company was founded by pharmacist Pierre Fabre in 1962. Uniquely, the group is 86% owned by the Pierre Fabre Foundation, a recognized public-interest organization, ensuring that a significant portion of its profits is reinvested into global health initiatives and research.
