The small village of Avène is located in the Val d'Orb... , at the foot of the Cevennes in southern France. The natural spring of Sainte-Odile, the source of the healing thermal waters of Eau Thermale Avène, originates here. The spring was discovered in 1736 by the stallion of the ruling Marquis de Rocozels. The noble horse suffered from a severe disease of the coat and skin, which disappeared after bathing in the spring and drinking from it. Inspired by this story and based on solid research, the Avène thermal water became the basis of the skin care line for sensitive skin. Its effectiveness has been proven in numerous scientific studies. Its effectiveness, tolerance and hypoallergenicity is approved by rigorous tests and under dermatological controls. The secret is the extraordinary composition of minerals, trace elements and silica. It gives the Avène thermal water soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore, it particularly suits sensitive and hypersensitive skin.

The strengths of the Pierre Fabre research lies in the carefully selected innovative active ingredients, international professionals, and expert knowledge in the field of dermo-cosmetics.
