Thermal waters as cosmeceuticals: La Roche-Posay thermal spring water example
نویسنده
چکیده
The curative use of thermal spring water is well known, but further investigation of its biological properties and therapeutic benefits is necessary. This present article reports all available scientific data concerning La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water and provides a better understanding of the biological mechanism of action of this water in regard to its composition and physicochemical properties and its clinical benefits for patients. These data justify the use of this selenium-rich water as an active or "cosmeceutical" ingredient in topical formulations to increase quality of life and compliance in patients with chronic disease.

متن کاملA new Vitreoscilla filiformis extract grown on spa water-enriched medium activates endogenous cutaneous antioxidant and antimicrobial defenses through a potential Toll-like receptor 2/protein kinase C, zeta transduction pathway
Vitreoscilla filiformis (VF) biomass (VFB) has been widely used in cosmetic preparations and shown to modulate the major inducible free-radical scavenger mitochondrial superoxide dismutase in skin cells. By adding La Roche-Posay (LRP) thermal spring water to the VF culture medium, we obtained a biomass (LRP-VFB) with a similar mitochondrial superoxide dismutase activation capacity to VF. Also, ...

In this study multivariate statistical analysis are used to characterize relationships between hydrochemical properties ofthermal and non-thermal springs. Four factors for thermal waters and two for non-thermal springs were extracted basedon factor analysis. In thermal springs, the first factor showed high loading on Ca, Mg, Na and K and this factor wasinterpreted as leaching of cations in the ...
