Formulas tested in independent laboratories
Our formulas have passed eco-toxicity tests on algae and coral in accordance with ISO 10253 / ISO 8692 by an independent laboratory. The result of these tests is that our formulas, under normal conditions of use, have no negative impact on marine flora and fauna.
Compliance with Hawaii law
The State of Hawaii has decided to ban the use of certain chemicals in sunscreens by passing the Hawaii Law, which came into force on January 1, 2021. This law lists chemical substances such as oxybenzone and octinoxate that are often found in sunscreens, and which are likely to weaken or even destroy corals. Our formulas comply with this requirement.
Precautions for use
Shake well before use.
Apply generously and evenly before exposure to the sun, and reapply at least every 2 hours. Avoid exposure to the sun during peak hours. Sunburn is dangerous, especially for children. Do not expose babies and young children to the sun or heat.
Avoid direct contact with clothing.
Quality commitment (1/2)
Decathlon goes further than international cosmetics regulations and has banned over 1,000 controversial substances that we don't want to find in our products, even if they are authorized on the market. These include recognized endocrine disruptors and certain preservatives.
Quality commitment (2/2)
As far as UV filters are concerned, we are very demanding and only allow in our products a small list of UV filters that have been approved by our toxicologist as being the least harmful to our health or the environment.
