Abstract: Despite the various therapeutic applications and recommendations to the use of thermal waters in the prevention and/or treatment of various affections in different areas, several studies have confirmed the ability of the thermal waters to improve certain skin disorders. This work reports the mechanisms of action of thermal waters based on its physico-chemical composition and their clinical benefits for the development of new dermocosmetic formulations. These data justify the use of new biotechnological tools, such as innovative nanoscale delivery systems, to obtain a controlled release of the minerals present in the thermal water, that will act as an active or “cosmeceutical†ingredient in dermocosmetic formulations, aimed to prevent, support and treat skin disorders and also led to a significant improvement in quality of life of those patients.
