Thalgo is the
original professional marine health and beauty brand and the originator of the
marine spa therapy and wellness trend. Based in the South of France,
Thalgo has over 60 years of expertise in drawing on the riches of the sea to
develop highly effective skincare products, nutritional supplements and
exceptional professional beauty treatments for positive well-being.
Thalgo was founded
back in 1964 by a French pharmacist conducting research into utilising marine
algae to treat medical and cosmetic concerns. The name “Thalgo” is an
amalgamation of “thalassotherapy” and “algae” and was
first registered in
1968.
Thalgo has its
origins in thalassotherapy: the treatment of the body using seawater. It
is considered to be so beneficial and effective that it was until recently
prescribed by doctors in France as a medical “cure”. Initially,
thalassotherapy used crushed or pulverised seaweeds, which were then made into
poultices, in its therapies.
