Avène Thermal Spring Water

A Hydrotherapy Centre was built near the Sainte-Odile spring in 1743 , and focuses on using the purported therapeutic properties of Avène Thermal Spring Water to address a variety of dermatological conditions and skin concerns such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema and burns. The brand is centered on Avène Thermal spring water. Precipitation filters through the Cévennes Mountains and resurfaces at the Sainte-Odile spring. Its composition is thought to make it effective for the care and management of sensitive skin. Over 150 stringent biological, pharmacological and clinical studies on Avène Thermal Spring Water have been conducted by the Avene Thermal Spring Company and independent researchers.
