Avène Lip Balm (Baume Lèvres)

Avène (Eau Thermale Avène) is a prestigious French dermo-cosmetic brand that traces its roots back to 1736 with the discovery of the therapeutic properties of thermal spring water in the Orb valley in southern France. The brand focuses on skincare for sensitive and intolerant skin, utilizing the Avène Thermal Spring Water as its core ingredient.

Products are primarily manufactured in France, specifically at the Avène production plant located near the source of the thermal water in Avène, Occitanie. This ensures the purity and efficacy of the water is maintained throughout the production process. The brand is renowned for its pharmaceutical approach to skincare, combining clinical expertise with natural minerals.

Avène is owned by the Pierre Fabre Group, a multinational pharmaceutical and cosmetics company headquartered in Castres, France. Pierre Fabre acquired the brand in the 1970s and has since expanded it into a global leader in the pharmacy skincare market. The company remains committed to its founder's medical and botanical heritage, operating as a foundation-owned group that reinvests profits into oncology research and healthcare access.
