Environmental protection
THALGO takes an active approach to preserving the riches and biodiversity of the marine world: satellite spotting of harvest zones and definition of extraction periods so as not to disrupt the reproduction cycles, thus ensuring the renewal of the oceans’ natural treasures.
Today THALGO is taking its commitment even further through a partnership with free-diving champion Aurore Asso, three-time French titleholder and No. 2 worldwide.
Aurore
“After studying agronomy in order to stay close to nature, I trained as a perfumer and worked in the fragrance industry for four years. From the olfactory world to the audiovisual sector, it’s an easy transition: today I’m making documentaries and pursuing an ideal – to raise people’s awareness of ecological problems. In parallel with my professional life, I have always retained an instinct for exploration, an urge to see new places. Climbing mountains in the Alps, sailing, exploring Japan and New Zealand, and especially the sea… I’m always trying to go farther and deeper. I started free-diving in Greece at the age of eight, searching the seabed for treasures like amphora fragments, abalone shells and sea urchins. Since then I’ve seen the birth and development of this sport, which has now reached professional levels.”
•• Free-diving
More than an extreme sport, free-diving is an extraordinary immersion in the marine environment to rediscover original sensations and experience a feeling of being at one with the oceans. The sport depends entirely on the divers’ strength and stamina, pitting them one-on- one against the water. The sea accepts this human presence, offering in return a harmonious exploration of the seabeds, in perfect respect for the beauty and riches of the deep. Today free-diving has become a professional discipline, with athletes participating in a circuit of international competitions. It includes events at sea and in the pool. The two pool events are static apnoea, which involves remaining underwater as long as possible, and dynamic apnoea – swimming as far as possible underwater. The goal in all of the marine events is to reach the greatest depth.
Common goals
The partnership between THALGO and Aurore Asso was born of an encounter based on common goals that we both uphold.
The quest for aquatic well-being
The rhythm of the waves, the power of the marine climate, the richness of sea salts are unparalleled sources of vitality and relaxation to restore and replenish our bodies and minds. THALGO’s skincare products concentrate this wellspring of energy so that every day, anywhere in the world, you can feel the benefits of the sea.
The formidable power of marine substances
Free-diving requires an intensive physical and mental preparation process, including indispensable muscular relaxation and recovery phases. Firmly convinced of the powers of the oceans’ treasures, Aurore Asso relies on the benefits of Thalgo’s marine treatments in preparing for and recovering from her dives, whether in training or in competition. Every day she protects, nourishes and enhances the beauty of her skin, which is exposed to constant stress from wind, sunlight and dehydration, with Thalgo products – a perfect harmony between her passion and her skincare needs.
