At AAVIK, we believe that beauty starts from within, and the secrets to radiant, healthy skin have been hiding in nature all along. Our story begins with ancient traditions, royal history, and groundbreaking scientific discoveries, all of which have shaped the luxurious skincare products you know today.
The Royal Skincare Tradition of Bath
Our story dates back to 1855 when Dr. John Snow, a visionary in the fields of public health and anesthesiology, made a revolutionary discovery in Bath, England. As Queen Victoria’s medical advisor, Dr. Snow uncovered the healing power of Bath’s thermal sulfate-calcium springs, which were known to alleviate skin sensitivities caused by toxic lead-based cosmetics used by the royal family. These springs, famous for their therapeutic properties, became the inspiration for AAVIK’s approach to skincare.
Dr. Snow’s groundbreaking research led to the realization that thermal spring water could be a safer and more effective alternative to harmful beauty products. He proposed in his 1855 paper that thermal spring water had the power to heal the skin and replace toxic cosmetics, laying the foundation for AAVIK’s commitment to harnessing the natural healing powers of water.
A Scientific Revolution: The Discovery of Composite-Phase Minerals
In 1957, a team from the University of Bath discovered something extraordinary deep beneath the Earth’s surface in the Mendip Fault—a composite-phase mineral stratum. This discovery opened a new chapter in the understanding of Bath’s thermal springs. The deep groundwater reacted with limestone and gypsum layers to create a stable dual-phase mineral structure, containing sulfates and sulfides suspended within the water. The discovery was revolutionary because it showed that the springs could deliver far more than just water—they offered a treasure trove of mineral-rich benefits for the skin.
These unique minerals, combined with thermal spring water maintaining a consistent temperature of 46°C and a slightly alkaline pH, provide hydration, balance, and nourishment to the skin. It was from this discovery that AAVIK realized the incredible potential of these minerals in skincare.
AAVIK’s Vision: A Blend of Nature and Innovation
The discovery of composite-phase minerals sparked a shift in AAVIK’s research. We combined centuries-old healing traditions with cutting-edge technology to create skincare that not only enhances beauty but also supports long-term skin health. By using thermal spring water enriched with 43 essential minerals, AAVIK’s products provide unparalleled skin nourishment and protection.
Additionally, our products feature the infusion of 7 gemstone powders, which add a layer of luxury and brilliance. These gemstones, known for their natural healing properties, work to balance the skin tone, reduce blemishes, and promote a radiant, youthful complexion.
