THE ANCIENT POWERS
of Mother-Waters
UNIQUE ‟LIVING WATERS”
Mother-Waters are the waters from the final evaporation basins in salt production.

They are 8 to 10 times more concentrated in mineral salts and micronutrients than sea water. They contain: Magnesium, Calcium, Phosphorus, etc., which are present as active ions. These ‟living waters” are a true natural concentration of life and cannot be reproduced in a laboratory, only nature can provide them.
SEA WATER AND MOTHER-WATERS
Source of life and skincare
Water is the main component of the human body and our cells.
The skin contains 70% water, i.e. 15% of all the water in the human body. It plays a major role in our inner balance, via natural cell mechanisms that encourage absorption of cosmetic active ingredients.
Sea water and the water in our bodies are similar.
At equal salinity, they have similar mineral and micronutrient contents: we all know that tears are salty! These minerals and micronutrients are essential to life and contribute to a healthy body.
Since Antiquity:
Sea water has long been recommended in pharmacopea and medicine, although its effects had not been scientifically proved.
Early 20th century:
Biologist René Quinton identified the similarity between mineral salt concentrations and micronutrients in the marine environment and the water in our cells. His experiments proved the role of sea water in the living organism.
Mother-Waters in cosmetics: improved effectiveness
Water is the main component in cosmetic products, but it is generally incorporated in its demineralized, processed and neutral form. By adding Mother-Waters to our formulas, cells’ mineral balance is restored. Dosed to ensure perfect affinity with the skin, they remineralize epidermal cells and help skin better absorb cosmetic active ingredients, thanks to the isotonic osmotic active principle.
MOTHER-WATERS AND THE ISOTONIC OSMOTIC ACTIVE PRINCIPLE OF GUÉRANDE COSMETICS
The environment attacks our skin every day and our diet does not always provide all the minerals it requires. For healthy skin, the mineral balance of our cells must be restored.
To help restore this balance, Guérande has incorporated the following in its cosmetics :
- Mother-Waters, dosed according to the skin’s natural mineral balance (isotonicity)
- Natural active ingredients, work together as needed to provide moisturization, antioxidants, protection, anti-aging, etc.
