LABORATOIRES de BIARRITZ patented red seaweed extract Alga-Gorria® comes from Gelidium sesquipedale, a red seaweed that is specific to the Basque coastline. To better control the product quality and reduce our carbon footprint, LABORATOIRES de BIARRITZ sunscreens are Made in France all the way from the research stages to production.
Alga-Gorria® is our exclusive ingredient developed by our research team with proven and optimized antioxidant properties. It contains 5 times more antioxidants than pure vitamin C and neutralizes the free radicals that attack cells and that are responsible for premature skin ageing.
The active ingredients in all LABORATOIRES de BIARRITZ sunscreen products are zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which were the only two ingredients recognized by EWG's 2019 Guide to Sunscreens as safe and effective. As highlighted in the report, zinc oxide performed better than chemical ingredients in the broad spectrum test.
The mineral molecules used in LABORATOIRES de BIARRITZ sunscreen products are micronized to minimize the whitening effect. It does not contain nanoparticles which, because of their size, could be absorbed by the organism, and accumulate in the dermis, or even enter the bloodstream and have a negative impact on the health.
Its organic formula is made up of natural origin ingredients with no allergens. The combination of Organic Aloe and Glycerin in this non greasy formula has genuine moisturizing and mattifying effects. It makes the skin beautiful, relieved and soft. Organic plum oil and organic sunflower oil complex provides comfort, suppleness and shields against external stress. No added fragrance.
The formula is perfectly suited for sporting activities, even in extreme conditions: it is water and sweat resistant, and will not drip in the eyes (non irritating). Effective protection for any outdoor activity, even in the water.
SPF50 is great for very light, sensitive or sun-intolerant skin (very frequently sunburned) and to all skin phototypes exposed to very harsh sunlight. The Sun cream can be used by pregnant and breastfeeding women

Thoughtful and hygienic vacuum design:
The face sunscreens from Laboratoires de Biarritz come in individually vacuum-sealed packet inside the bottle to prevent oxidation and bacterial growth. The bottom of the bottle is designed with a vent to allow for the necessary airflow during the pump's compression. This creates a smooth dispensing of the product while the sunscreen inside the vacuum-sealed packet never comes in contact with air.
