German term or phrase: Quelle der Schönheit

Es geht um das Marketingkonzept für Kosmetik. Die Agentur legt dieses Konzept dem Kunden vor und präsentiert ihre Überlegungen, ihr Vorgehen usw.
Der generelle Aufhänger in allen Werbe- und Marketingunterlage soll laut Agentur "Spring of Beauty" sein.
Für die Kosmetikartikel wird Quellwasser - also pur, rein, etc. - verwendet. Gleichzeitig soll mit Quelle aber auch der Ursprung der Schönheit gemeint sein. Also Quelle in der doppelten Bedeutung von Wasserquelle und Ursprung.
Ich persönlich denke bei "spring" aber entweder an Frühling oder an Feder. Allerdings weiß ich auch keine wirkliche Alternative außer vielleicht "fountain". Wer kann helfen?

Ein typischer Satz wäre z.B.
Das Spring of Beauty Sujet soll Frische und Unverbrauchtheit suggerieren, während es gleichzeitig auch mit den zurückhaltenden Farben distinguiert wirken möchte.
Darauf folgen ein paar Bilder und Erklärungen wie diese auf den Kunden wirken, usw.

Explanation:
Well, if the agency prefers "Spring of Beauty", I think it should remain that way. I consider "source of beauty" as an alternative.
