Tierra Viva’s sister brand
Born on the mountain.
High up, the páramo holds the water.
Frailejones, moss and mist, more than 3,000 metres above sea level.
And the earth returns it warm.
Our thermal water rises in the páramos near the Nevado del Ruiz volcano.
Caring for skin with truth.
Natural facial care with thermal water, created in Manizales. Less excess, more truth.
Why it exists
Natural is not a trend; it is a conscious choice.
Termalcare was born of the need to return to a more honest kind of care. In a market full of excess, quick promises and confusion, it proposes a pause: choose better, use less and care for your skin more consciously.
- While others sell perfection,Termalcare stays with the process.
- While others overwhelm,Termalcare simplifies.
- While others embellish,Termalcare explains.
The origin
From the mountain to your routine.
It all starts high up, in the landscape around the Nevado del Ruiz volcano: volcanic rock, páramo and water that rises warm from the earth.
The mountain
The Nevado del Ruiz volcano rules the range above Caldas. Its volcanic earth is where the water’s mineral wealth comes from.
The páramo
Among frailejones, moss and mist, the páramo holds the water that flows down to the whole region. Caring for it is part of the brand too.
The thermal water
It rises in the páramos near the volcano and is the base of the formulas, alongside actives from Colombian biodiversity.
The facial line
Five products, one routine.
Cleansing, treatment and hydration with thermal water and Colombian botanicals. Each formula says what is in it, how to use it and what to expect.

Ingredients
Thermal water and Colombian botanicals.
Respect your skin, understand what you use. This is what goes into the formulas and why it is there.
Volcanic thermal water
The main ingredient. It rises in the páramos near the Nevado del Ruiz volcano, and its minerals and trace elements support the skin’s balance, renewal and natural barrier.
Hyaluronic acid
Holds up to a thousand times its weight in water. Termalcare blends five molecular weights to reach different layers of the skin.
Niacinamide
Derived from vitamin B3: antioxidant, hydrating, helps control excess oil, evens out tone and refines pores.
Bio-retinol
With Bidens pilosa extract, an ECOCERT-certified plant active. It is at the heart of Ocaso Mágico.
Stable vitamin C
Ascorbyl glucoside is a stable form of vitamin C: it brings radiance, evens out tone and boosts collagen.
Aloe vera
Rich in vitamins, minerals and amino acids. It soothes, hydrates and helps repair the skin.
Green tea
A natural antioxidant that helps against ageing and blemishes.
Rosemary
Its essential oil is an antioxidant that helps prevent blemishes. It is a star of the cleansing foam.
Cacay oil
A Colombian, non-comedogenic plant emollient rich in fatty acids. It supports renewal and elasticity.
Passion fruit
With vitamins A and C and flavonoids: it protects against free radicals and boosts collagen.
Guava oil
An oil produced in Colombia, with a unique scent and texture, that nourishes and revitalises.
Andean quinoa
Its polysaccharides give Manantial Secreto its tightening effect.
In every bottle
What goes in and what doesn’t.
- 01
Natural origin
Natural, vegan and biodegradable ingredients, free from animal cruelty.
- 02
No mineral oil

- 03
No synthetic fragrance
No colourings or endocrine disruptors. If a formula has a scent, it comes from essential oils.
- 04
Caring for the páramo
Every purchase supports the conservation of the páramo in Los Nevados National Natural Park.
Who is behind it
Born of science and a love of nature.
Termalcare is the facial care brand of Ana María Robledo, from Manizales, and the sister brand of Termales Tierra Viva.
The idea came from an academic project with the University of Vigo, in Spain, and the University of Caldas on processing clays matured in thermal water. Along the way Ana María fell in love with natural skincare and set out to make thermal water the main ingredient of her formulas, alongside the most valuable actives of Colombian biodiversity.
Today the brand rests on three pillars: real beauty, nature with judgement and conscious consumption.
“We do not believe in miracle promises, we believe in constant care.”

Tips
To care for your skin.
Simple education, to choose better: what Termalcare shares on its Instagram for everyday care.
More tips at @termalcareStart with the basics
Cleansing, hydration and sunscreen. The key is consistency: enjoy the routine as a ritual and you will see results little by little.
Wash your hands first
It may sound obvious, but it keeps bacteria that can cause blemishes away from your face.
Protect your skin’s natural barrier
- Avoid cleansers that leave your skin dry or tight.
- Wear high-protection sunscreen every day and avoid unnecessary sun; sunglasses and a hat help.
- Drink enough water.
- Do not over-exfoliate.
- Always moisturise after cleansing, with products rich in antioxidants and repairing ingredients.
Sunscreen, in the water too
Cover every exposed area and reapply every two hours if you sweat or are in the water.
Hydrating is not the same as moisturising
Hydrating means drawing in or adding water, as hyaluronic acid does. Moisturising means holding it in, as plant oils do. And for your skin to have water to work with, drink enough every day.
Plant oil or mineral oil
Plant oil comes from seeds or plants and brings fatty acids, vitamins and trace elements. Mineral oil is a petroleum by-product that coats the skin and keeps it from breathing. That is why Termalcare formulas contain no mineral oil.
From 25, think prevention
Collagen production starts to drop at 25. It is a good time to add more specific products, such as a serum or an eye contour, without ever skipping cleansing, hydration and sunscreen.
Not all vitamin C works the same
It only works if it is stable: oxidised vitamin C loses strength and stops doing its job. That is why Cumbre Glaciar uses ascorbyl glucoside, a stable form.
