The advantage of cosmetic products containing 59-80% of the thermomineral water from Moravske Toplice lies in the thermomineral water – a purely natural ingredient, treated in accordance with the principles of good practice applicable to cosmetic products, which retains all its properties and beneficial effects on the skin during the production and use of the product. Thermal mineral water from Moravske Toplice contains a number of trace elements, which are among the natural moisturising factors. The nourishing effect of the products is complemented by nourishing and nourishing oils and other ingredients in the individual products, such as vitamin E and rosemary extracts with antioxidant action. All the cosmetic products in the Thermalium collection with thermal mineral water from Moravske Toplice have a pH value between 5.0 and 5.9, helping to maintain the physiological pH of the skin, which plays a protective role. Thermal and mineral waters are part of nature’s wealth. Each natural mineral water has properties that derive from specific mineral substances, trace elements or other constituents and may have certain physiological effects. In the paths through the earth’s interior, water, because of its physico-chemical properties, dissolves rocks intensively under the influence of pressure, temperature and gases. This produces aqueous solutions which differ in the quantity and variety of dissolved minerals. The variety of dissolved minerals in natural mineral waters depends on the underground environment through which the water flows, the depth of the waterways and the residence time of the water in the underground space. People have long recognised their medicinal value. The thermal mineral water from Moravske Toplice comes from depths ranging from 960 to 1467 metres. Its temperature at the source is 72 °C. It is a hydrocarbonate hyperthermic water with free and bound carbon dioxide. In addition to carbon dioxide, it contains a large number of dissolved anions (fluoride, chloride, bromide, iodide, sulphate, hydrogen phosphate, bicarbonate) and cations (lithium, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese). Due to its characteristics, the thermomineral water from Moravske Toplice has been declared a natural healing agent since 1964. Its therapeutic indications are: inflammatory rheumatic diseases, degenerative extra-articular rheumatism, conditions after injuries and operations on the locomotor system with functional impairment and skin diseases.
Thermo-mineral water has not only therapeutic but also other positive effects on the human body:
invigorates and refreshes the body,
improves and promotes blood circulation in the skin,
gives a feeling of comfort and relaxation,
stimulates regeneration and improves the skin’s defence mechanisms.
Thermal mineral water has been shown to have:
- It reduces the sensitivity of cells involved in immunological mechanisms in the skin: the threshold for reactivity becomes higher.
- It improves intercellular exchange of substances by strengthening cell membranes: the balance in the skin is restored.
- It increases the effectiveness of key cells of our immune defence system: the skin protects itself better.
In 1984, a study showed that patients treated daily with 30 minutes of balneotherapy experienced an improvement in psoriasis symptoms and a faster reduction and disappearance of redness.The pharmaceutical company Galex from Murska Sobota has developed a special Thermalium cosmetic collection for the care of the skin on the face, hands and body. The development was carried out in collaboration with the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Ljubljana. Galex’s experts have managed to stabilise the thermo-mineral water and incorporate it with all its positive effects into cosmetic products. This was a very challenging project, as thermo-mineral water is a living material that comes from nature, originates from the earth and was very difficult to capture in a high quality, effective and stable product.Thermalium products are safe and in the years since they have been on the market, there have been no reports of adverse reactions. They have minimal fragrance added and have not been tested on animals.
The first cosmetic line based on thermo-mineral water, which is the fruit of Slovenian know-how and uses Slovenia’s natural wealth.

Thermalium cosmetic products are adapted to the skin’s natural pH. The thermomineral water from Moravske Toplice, which is their main ingredient, ensures that the products have a gentle and restorative effect, making them the perfect remedy for skin with a disturbed balance. In addition, the thermal mineral water from Moravske Toplice contains high levels of sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium, the latter being considered a true beauty element whose rejuvenating power was known to the Chinese.
