Our Unique Spa Ingredient : Pure Extract of Thermal Plankton
Since antiquity the water from the thermal springs in the Pyrenee mountains has been the subject of legends.
It is said that gallo-roman warriors went there to rest and to heal their wounds after battle. Legends from the middle ages claimed that the water from these springs had the power of eternal youth and could transform a toad into a dove.

In 1935, a spa dermatologist discovered these waters contain thermal plankton.
And in 1952 a young woman named Jeannine Marissal seized on the idea of adding thermal plankton to beauty creams.
