▪ Skin microbiome
▪ Influences health and disease processes
▪ Manipulable
▪ Easily accessible
▪ Diagnostic test
▪ Therapeutic intervention
▪ Studies point to the modulation of the skin microbiome
after immersion in thermal water
z
• Thermal water used in different treatments is
a non-sterile water that has its own bacterial
profile

France
▪ Topical administration of a Vitreoscilla filiformis
lysate has been shown to benefit local skin
immunity, possibly by activating skin regulators
T cells 5

▪ Comano's spring water has been shown to improve skin
regeneration:
▪ Increases keratinocyte proliferation and migration
▪ Modulates regenerated collagen and elastic fibers in the dermis
▪ However, these biological properties may not be fully explained
solely by their mineral composition6
Comano
• hypotonic
• bicarbonatada
• Ca2+
• Mg2+

▪ Aeromonas hydrophila represents a constant microbiota component in fresh
reservoirs, where it acts as a biofilter and promotes water self-purification
▪ Isolated on moroccan atlantic ocean water samples7 and demonstrated activity :
▪ antifungal
▪ antibacterial

France
▪ From the culture of Aquaphilus dolomiae, an isolated
bacterium in Avène Thermal Water was obtained the organic
substance I-modulia, able to regulate inflammatory and
lymphocyte immune responses of keratinocytes 8

• Further research is needed to identify:
• probiotic strains
• prebiotic substrates
• immunoregulatory substances derived from microbes
