Today, Avène is recommended by healthcare professionals worldwide and operates under the Pierre Fabre Group, ensuring rigorous quality standards and innovative delivery systems like Sterile Cosmetics.
The heritage of Avène began in 1736 in the South of France when the therapeutic properties of the Sainte-Odile spring were discovered after a horse with a skin ailment was reportedly healed by its waters. In 1743, the first thermal baths were built, and by 1874, the French National Academy of Medicine officially recognized the water’s public benefit. This legacy of healing reached international acclaim in 1871 when the water was shipped to America to treat burn victims of the Great Chicago Fire. In 1990, the modern Eau Thermale Avène brand was launched, continuing a centuries-old tradition of hydrotherapy at its dedicated center in the Haut-Languedoc National Park.
