Eau Thermale Avène Hydrance Aqua-Gel

Eau Thermale Avène is a renowned French dermo-cosmetic brand that specializes in products for sensitive skin. The brand's identity is deeply rooted in the Avène Thermal Spring Water, which was first discovered in the Orb Valley in southern France in 1736. The spring water is known for its soothing and anti-irritating properties, which form the base of the entire skincare line.

The manufacturing process is primarily conducted in a dedicated sterile facility located in Avène, France, ensuring the purity and integrity of the thermal spring water from source to bottle. This location serves as the global hub for the brand’s production, emphasizing its commitment to French pharmaceutical standards.

Avène is owned by Laboratoires Pierre Fabre, a multinational pharmaceutical and cosmetics company headquartered in Castres, France. Pierre Fabre acquired the Avène Hydrotherapy Center and the rights to develop the thermal water into a skincare brand in the 1970s. As of 2024 and beyond, the brand continues to operate under the Pierre Fabre Group, maintaining its status as a leader in global pharmacy-exclusive skincare.
