La Roche-Posay logo
In the beginning of the very first skin care brand to be prescribed in France: an active ingredient with unrivalled effectiveness: La Roche-Posay thermal spring water.
Millennium
A mixture of rainwater slowly passing through thick layers of clay, sand and chalk. Rich in minerals and trace elements, the water is approximately 1700 years old. It boasts a unique and natural composition.
Active
An exceptional concentration of selenium, combined with very diverse microflora, gives it its dermatological properties. With anti-inflammatory, healing and soothing properties which have been scientifically proven in over 20 clinical studies, it helps to restore the diversity of our skin microbiome.
Protected
Declared to be of public interest, La Roche-Posay's thermal water is protected by decree on over more than 400 hectares of catchment fields, which guarantees the water is constantly renewed and remains pure.
Preserved
Sensors and fibre optics provide a real-time monitoring of the level and quality of the groundwater, making sure that this precious resource is managed in a sustainable way.
Our water is extracted from a depth of 30 to 80 metres; is then stored, untreated, and finally distributed via a network of state of the art equipment, thus retaining all of its properties.
Therapeutic
Every year, at La Roche-Posay Thermal Centre, Europe's leading centre for thermal dermatology, our thermal water treats thousands of patients with severe skin conditions. As a guarantee of its efficiency, La Roche-Posay’s thermal cure is covered by the social security system. La Roche-Posay Spa Source’s skin care protocols are all based on its thermal water.
Unique
Each day, the water comes to our factories and we combine it with active dermatological ingredients. This is what makes our formulas unique. Loaded with soothing and healing properties, our skin care products benefit people all over the world.
