EXPERT GUIDE: NATURAL HYDRATION WITH SWISS GLACIER WATER FOR RADIANT SKIN


Hydration of our skin is a fundamental need that should  never be neglected, especially when we know that it takes several days for the skin to get used to a new environment. To begin with, let us remember that our body needs the water it loses during the day to be replenished, with a daily intake of at least o ne and a half liters of fluids.


Indeed, lack of hydration causes unpleasant symptoms such as  water retention, irritability, fatigue and of course, visibly dry skin.That’s why we have created this comprehensive guide on natural hydration with glacier water. This exceptional resource is rich in minerals and trace elements, offering unparalleled benefits for radiant skin.


In this regard, our expertise at L'ALPAGE Switzerland enables us to formulate  exceptional skincare, combining Alpine botanical treasures such as edelweiss, renowned for its soothing, moisturizing, antioxidant and anti-bacterial properties: with cutting-edge technologies. Our formulas contain 10 to 45% active ingredients, far beyond the 2% of a standard cream, for visible and long-lasting results.

Glacier water: a pure source for skin hydration

For centuries, glacier water has been recognized for its  beneficial properties. These natural treasures form the basis of the exceptional formulations of  L'ALPAGE Suisse, which harness their purity to create unparalleled hydrating skincare.

Exceptional origin and purity of Swiss glaciers


The Swiss Glaciers, true gems nestled in the heart of the Alps, are the result of a millennia-old natural process. Formed by the accumulation and compression of snow over several decades, they naturally filter the water that passes through them. This unique filtration removes virtually all impurities and gives the water exceptional purity. Furthermore, the geographical isolation of these mountain massifs protects them from any industrial pollution, thus guaranteeing water of unmatched quality.


At L'ALPAGE Suisse, we meticulously select the sources of glacier water used in our formulations, favoring those located at over 3,000 meters altitude where purity reaches its peak. It is a particularly sought-after source of hydration.

Why glacier water is ideal for the skin


Glacier water has a mineral composition perfectly balanced making it a valuable ally for skin hydration.Its low mineral content (only 9 mg/l compared to 50 to 400 mg/l for a classic mineral water)   allows it to easily penetrate the upper layers of the epidermis without leaving any mineral residue.


The Swiss Glacier Water used by L'ALPAGE Suisse comes from a glacier at over 4,000m altitude in Valais. This Swiss Glacier Water enables intense hydration, providing +44-61% hydration for 24H,  with results proven by clinical study.


Indeed, this molecular lightness transforms glacier water into a  true "micro-patch" of hydration that intensely nourishes the skin.Its richness in essential trace elements such as zinc and magnesium also stimulates cell renewal, while its neutral pH perfectly respects the natural balance of the epidermis.


Our Swiss laboratories have developed an exclusive technology  allowing us to preserve all these qualities in our formulations, with an active ingredient concentration  reaching 10 to 45%, much higher than the 2% of a standard cream.

Difference between glacier water and thermal water


Unlike thermal waters, which are often rich in minerals and collected from deep underground, glacier water is characterized by:

  • An ultra-light mineralization that avoids the drying effect sometimes observed with highly mineralized waters
  • A natural microbiological purity with no need for chemical treatments
  • An intrinsic freshness that tones and tightens the pores

While  thermal water excels at soothing   sensitive skin or problematic skin, glacier water provides deeper and long-lasting hydration thanks to its unique ability to penetrate the epidermis without saturating the skin.In hydration formulas L'ALPAGE Suisse, this precious water is combined with Alpine actives such as organic edelweiss and regenerating peptides for an unmatched synergistic action.
