Avène skincare

Eau Thermale Avène is a renowned French dermo-cosmetic brand with a history dating back to 1736, when the therapeutic properties of the Avène Thermal Spring were first discovered in the South of France. The site was officially recognized by the French government for its public benefit in 1874. Today, the brand is famous for its specialized products designed for sensitive and intolerant skin.

The brand's production is deeply integrated with its geographical origin. Nearly all Avène products are manufactured at a specialized production plant in Avène (Hérault), France, which is directly connected to the thermal spring by a pipeline to preserve the water's soothing properties. The brand is owned by Laboratoires Pierre Fabre, a major French pharmaceutical and cosmetic group. Interestingly, the majority of Pierre Fabre is owned by the Pierre Fabre Foundation, a government-recognized public interest foundation, ensuring a focus on medical research and long-term health initiatives.
