Studies on thermal and mineral waters as cosmetic or balneotherapeutic agents have shown that they generally support skin functions and specifically exhibit anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-irritant, moisturizing and anti-aging properties. This evidence supports the use of thermo-mineral water sources in cosmetic products or as cosmetic products. [I,II,III,IV].
