I-modulia®: back to the source 

Avène thermal spring water is a treasure trove... But what exactly is the secret behind its
anti-inflammatoryand calming properties?

Beyond being rich in minerals, it draws its effectiveness from its biological history.

Our researchers have identified an original microflora that lives only in the very deep and pure waters of Avène: Aquaphilus dolomiae. It is from this specific microorganism that we have succeeded in extracting I-modulia®, the first biotechnological active ingredient derived from Avène thermal spring water. 

The result of more than 12 years of multidisciplinary research, this multi-competent active ingredient acts directly on the itching of dry and atopic-prone skin.

After years of research, we have developed a biological active ingredient with exceptional properties. Acting directly on itching, it has the unique ability to soothe dry, very dry and atopic skin.

An exceptional and multi-competent active ingredient!

I-modulia® is the anti-itching active ingredient par excellence to relieve dry skin prone to atopic dermatitis.

Atopic dermatitis or atopic eczema is a chronic inflammatory disease that alternates between flare-ups and lulls. It is a real vicious circle... It always starts with dry skin, which can lead to itching (also called pruritus) and a deficiency of the skin barrier. Your skin then “lets in” allergens and irritants. The result? Your immune system is disrupted, the skin microbiome is out of balance and inflammation sets in. 

A natural active ingredient obtained from Aquaphilus dolomiae fractions, I-modulia®acts directly on cellular mediators to modulate this hyperactivity in your skin.

As an anti-irritant, it has a direct action on itching, redness and skin defenses.
