Label (mg/L): calcium 11.50, magnesium 4.11, sodium 8.86, potassium 1.93, chloride 8.1, nitrate <0.4, sulfate <10, bicarbonate 98.82; dry residue at 180°C 84 mg/L, pH 7.60. The label cites Arrêté Ministériel n°0532/CM of 17 May 1995 and says the water suits infant feeding and low-sodium diets. No producer website with the analysis was found, so the values come from label photos.
