English term or phrase: Natural Fountain Water (Aqua)

What would be the French for this?
C'est dans la liste des composants d'une crème hydratante.
Il s'agit ici d'eau de source naturelle, je suppose.
Cependant, l'anglais "Fountain Water" semble renvoyer le plus souvent à l'eau des fontaines en plastique avec bombonnes et gobelets en plastique, présentes dans les bureaux, cabinets médicaux, grands magasins...

French translation:eau thermale

Explanation:
Le terme anglais que j’ai le plus souvent rencontré dans la liste des ingrédients des crèmes de soins est « thermal spring water » plutôt que « natural fountain water ». Produits Avène par exemple.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Merci, je comprends la recommandation de "thermal" malgré la nuance. Puisqu'il s'agit d'une liste de composants et que l'original précise le latin "aqua" entre parenthèses, on pourrait être clair et précis et utiliser "eau", tout simplement. Qu'en pensez-vous ?
