  • AFPRAL

    The Eau Thermale Avène brand is a partner of AFPRAL (French Association for the Prevention of Allergies).
    An allergy is when the body develops an excessive reaction to a foreign body that it considers to be a threat. It is caused by an imbalance of the immune system.
    The immune system is a defense mechanism that protects the body against external attacks.
    In allergy sufferers, the immune system responds abnormally or excessively to a harmless foreign substance in the body which it has already come into contact with.

  • ESCF

    Avène dermatological laboratories work alongside the European Skin Cancer Foundation (ESCF)(1).
    Founded in 2008, this association aims to inform the public and raise awareness of the risk factors for skin cancer and implement prevention campaigns. Skin cancer is actually a major public health issue today.

    Excessive sun exposure (2) has been established as a contributing factor in the growing prevalence of skin cancer, including melanomas and
    non melanoma skin cancers (NMSC), which are rarely fatal but are becoming increasingly common. Early diagnosis is essential for a good prognosis and so education and photo-protection are key, especially where children are concerned.
    Avène dermatological laboratories have risen to the challenge thanks to their long term commitment in this field and sun care expertise. The sun care range from Avène is proven to protect your skin and keeps it safe from the harmful effects of the sun while also helping to prevent sun damage.
    This is why we have decided to invest in this area alongside ESCF and support numerous actions led by the Foundation:
    •  Prevent Educating children about sun damage preserves healthy skin for a longer time.
    •  Train dermatologists and doctors from all partner countries in skin cancer diagnosis, prevention and treatment.

  • Eczema Foundation

    The Eczema Foundation is a corporate foundation created by Pierre Fabre dedicated entirely to eczema.
    •  A foundation for research: So that teams involved in research on atopic dermatitis, based on epidemiology, genetics, immunology, basic or clinical research, may receive practical assistance following approval by the Foundation's scientific committee.
     
    •  A foundation for raising awareness: Atopic dermatitis is not well-known. Parents and also educators, doctors and other health professionals need information on the nature of atopic dermatitis, how to treat it, how it affects patients' lives and their families and the best ways to alleviate the suffering caused by this condition. The Foundation helps to disseminate this information in professional media and also for the general public.
     
    •  A foundation for education: As with all chronic conditions, atopic dermatitis can be difficult to manage. It can be frustrating for children and parents who don't know how to make the best use of the treatments available, which all have their pros and cons. Education about treatment produces effective means for gaining the necessary knowledge and understanding of the condition. This translates into valuable expertise in everyday life. The Atopy schools already in place have gained experiences that the Foundation is helping to share more widely.

    The Foundation for Atopic Dermatitis therefore works on many levels:
    •  It contributes to the funding of research and clinical studies on atopic dermatitis.
    •  It supports all initiatives in science or in the media that aim to raise awareness and inform the public about the condition, the treatments available and patients' daily lives.
    •  It designs and implements educational tools and initiatives.
    •  It creates, edits and disseminates information material created for practitioners, parents and children.
