BIARRITZ LABORATORIES
Muriel and Jean-Marc Dubois founded Laboratoires de Biarritz in 2011—it was the realization of a dream. As passionate surfers, they were looking for sun protection products that were effective and well tolerated while minimizing their impact on the sea and its inhabitants. Their love of the sea and the environment inspired them to found their own organic cosmetics company.
The sunscreens from Laboratoires de Biarritz combine reliable UVA and UVB protection with pleasant textures. The brand offers both organic-certified sunscreens with mineral filters and especially light, invisible sunscreen milks, sticks, and sun oils with carefully selected modern organic UV filters. This way, you can find the right sun protection for your skin’s needs and the finish you want. Key features:
- Mineral UV filters made from zinc oxide and titanium dioxide in the organic-certified Alga-Maris range. Depending on the product, the filters are identified as [nano] in the INCI declaration.
- Modern organic UVA/UVB filters for particularly light, transparent textures, for example in the invisible SPF 50 sunscreen milk or the Satin Sun Oil.
- The patented antioxidant red algae extract Alga-Gorria®, as well as astaxanthin from microalgae, complement UV protection with antioxidant care.
The organic-certified SPF 50 sunscreen milk provides mineral sun protection and contains a very high proportion of ingredients of natural origin. For example, the invisible SPF 50 sunscreen milk contains 76% ingredients of natural origin, including organic aloe vera and jojoba oil, and leaves a pleasant, transparent finish. The range also includes premium monoi and dry oils.
The brand’s commitment to the sea is complemented by concrete studies: the biodegradability and ecotoxicity of selected finished sunscreen formulations were tested on seven freshwater and marine organisms, including algae and corals. Under the conditions tested, the formulations showed no ecotoxic effects. Research, product development, and manufacturing are based in France.
