Garancia Laboratory is expanding its unique [SUN CARE RANGE]!
The dangers of the sun are still underestimated, given the increasing rates of skin cancer each year⁽¹⁾. Sunlight remains the leading cause of skin aging. To protect your health, it is essential to shield yourself from the sun when exposed to it.
It is with this in mind that Savéria Coste, Doctor of Pharmacy and Founder of Laboratoire Garancia, chose to create a new generation of sun care products . Her goal? To allow the whole family to enjoy protecting themselves effectively from the sun by putting sensory pleasure and natural ingredients back at the heart of sun protection.

Why did Laboratoire Garancia choose these organic filters?
Organic filters:
- provide protection against UVA/UVB rays by absorbing them
- have the property of not leaving white marks on the skin, regardless of phototype
- offer an incredible sensory experience.
The filters in our formulas have been carefully selected according to our internal formulation guidelines and in order to have the least possible impact on aquatic life.
The aim of Laboratoire Garancia is to enter a new generation of sun care by offering effective, clean*, ultra-sensory formulas without any questionable filters!
Without the following filters:
- Oxybenzone (benzophenone 3)
- Octinoxate
- Octocrylene
- 4-Methylbenzylidene Camphor (enzacamene)
- Homosalate
- Phenylbenzimidazole sulfonic acid (ensulizole)
Without recognized NANO** mineral or organic filters**
** in accordance with European Cosmetic Regulations and the European Commission
Focus on SPF filters: the UVB protection index
The power of SPF (Sun Protector Factor) filters is measured using an index.
An SPF50+ has a very high level of protection and blocks approximately 98.3% of UVB rays.
An SPF30 or 50 has a high level of protection and blocks approximately 96.7% or 98.3% of UVB rays respectively.
When UVA is surrounded by a circle, it means that the UVA protection is at least one-third that of the UVB index. Otherwise, the UVA protection is lower.
INNOVATION
We chose Pongamia oil with photoprotective properties and 2 extracts of red microalgae ( Dunaliella salina & Haematococcus pluvialis ) with antioxidant powers.
Their roles:
✔ Trap and inhibit the action of free radicals for an antioxidant effect
✔ Protect against oxidative stress from blue light
✔ Helps reduce redness
✔ Preserve elastin reserves
✔ Helps reduce protein carbonylation, a factor in skin aging
Our tests on marine biodiversity in complete transparency
In order to understand the impact of our sun care formulas on aquatic life and to reduce it, we conducted a series of tests on different species of marine biodiversity with an independent laboratory.
Extensive ecotoxicity tests were carried out on phytoplankton species ( marine microalgae ): Phaeodactylum tricornutum and zooplankton ( marine micro-crustaceans ): Artemia salina & Acartia tonsa .
Ecotoxicity testing on MARINE SPECIES & MARINE CRUSTACEANS (zooplankton & phytoplankton)
GROWTH TEST ( on Phaeodactylum tricornutum ) & MORTALITY TEST ( on Acartia tonsa & Artemia salina ) Phaeodactylum tricornutum: - EC50 > 100 mg/L for the Incredible Invisible Softness Sun Protect SPF50+ Fluid, the Transformative Sun Waters Sun Protect SPF50+ and the Invisible Softness Sun Lotion Sun Protect SPF50+
Acartia tonsa: - LC50 > 100 mg/L for the Incredible Invisible Softness Sun Protect SPF50+ Fluid, the Transformative Sun Waters Sun Protect SPF50+/SPF30 and the Invisible Softness Sun Milk Sun Protect SPF50+
Artermia salina: - LC50 > 100 mg/L for the Incredible Invisible Softness Sun Protect SPF50+ Fluid, the Invisible Softness Sun Protect SPF50+ Sun Milk and the Metamorphosing Red Sun Water Sun Protect SPF30
Even in extreme conditions and according to the standard of our independent laboratory, our products show a low ecotoxic effect on the tested species of marine biodiversity.
Ecotoxicity assessment test on tested species of marine biodiversity, carried out according to ISO 14669 (for micro-crustaceans) and ISO 10253 (for microalgae) standards by an independent laboratory.

How to properly apply your sunscreen?
For each zone:
Apply your sunscreen BEFORE exposing yourself to the sun.
Reapply every 2 hours or immediately after swimming, sweating, or drying off.
Do not expose babies and young children to direct sunlight. Avoid overexposure to the sun, even when using sunscreen. Excessive sun exposure is harmful to your health. Avoid direct contact with textiles and hard surfaces to prevent staining.
Better understand the different types of rays
-
UVA
A is for Age or Allergy
They penetrate the deep layer of the skin: the dermis. Due to their presence in excessive quantities, the skin loses elasticity. Premature skin aging, wrinkles, and age spots appear.
-
UVB
B is for Tanning or Burning
They provide the skin with the energy it needs to produce vitamin D. However, when they penetrate the epidermis too deeply, the skin reacts, tanning occurs, and in cases of overexposure, sunburn develops. Repeated exposure accelerates skin aging and is a risk factor for skin cancer.
-
Blue light
Too often neglected
It penetrates deeper into the skin than UVA and UVB rays, reaching the hypodermis. Overexposure leads to skin loss of firmness, and the appearance of wrinkles and age spots. The circadian rhythm (the biological rhythm of cells) is also disrupted.
All the answers to your questions
Why choose organic filters?
Garancia sun care products offer broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection thanks to carefully selected organic filters. These organic filters, which protect against UVA/UVB rays by absorbing them, have the property of leaving no white residue on the skin, regardless of skin type, and offer an incredible sensory experience!
In addition to these organic filters, plant-based protectors are included: Pongamia oil, with its photoprotective properties and rich in flavonoids, and two extracts of red microalgae ( Dunaliella salina and Haematocuccus pluvialis ) with antioxidant properties. This complex provides antioxidant action, preserves elastin levels, prevents dark spots and sunburn, and reduces redness!
Thus, Laboratoire Garancia's aim was to enter a new generation of sun care by offering effective, ultra-sensory formulas without any questionable filters (YUKA ratings: 100/100)(1);
Filters without filters are prohibited in certain areas internationally (suspected of being harmful to aquatic life).

Can I use Garancia sun care products on my children?
The entire [SUN CARE RANGE] from Laboratoire Garancia is suitable for the whole family (baby, child, adult, pregnant woman...). However, it is recommended to use an SPF50+ to protect children's skin such as [INSTIBLE SUN PROTECT Gentle Sun Milk] SPF50+, [SUN PROTECT Transformative Protective Sun Water] SPF50+ or [INSTIBLE SUN PROTECT Incredible Gentle Fluid] SPF50+.
Furthermore, we recommend using this product from 6 months of age for babies. We also recommend not exposing babies and young children to direct sunlight and/or covering them as much as possible (light clothing, hat, etc.).
Avoid overexposure to the sun, even if you are using sunscreen. Excessive sun exposure is dangerous to your health.
Can Garancia skincare products be used on the body and face?
Yes, [Invisible Sun Protect Gentle Sun Milk] SPF50+, [Transformative Sun Waters], and [Express Refreshing Milky Mist Sun Repair] can be used on the face and body. We recommend spraying the [Transformative Sun Waters] into your hands before applying them to your face. The [Invisible Sun Protect Incredibly Gentle Fluid] SPF50+, on the other hand, is better suited for facial use. It is advisable to avoid direct contact with the eyes.
What should I do if I get potential stains on my clothes after applying Garancia sun care products?
After application, it is advisable to avoid direct contact with textiles and rigid surfaces to prevent staining. In case of stains, follow the washing instructions on the garment's care label.
Should you apply sunscreen when it's cloudy?
Clouds can let up to 95% of UV rays through. Despite a grey sky, we advise you to apply sunscreen! Also, be aware that a parasol blocks 40 to 50% of UV rays. The rest reaches the skin by passing through the parasol or being reflected by the sand. Applying sunscreen, even in the shade, is therefore essential!
Is it possible to use a foundation without SPF over sunscreen?
It's perfectly possible to apply foundation over your sunscreen. We recommend the [INCREDIBLE SOFTNESS INVISIBLE SUN PROTECT FLUID] SPF50+ anti-aging and anti-dark spot. Its instant effectiveness upon application, optical blurring effect, and "peach skin" finish make it an ideal makeup base for everyday use.
Sunburn, what to do?
In case of sunburn, stop sun exposure immediately and avoid further sun exposure for the next few days. We also recommend applying the [EXPRESS SUN REPAIR FRESHNESS MILK MIST], which hydrates, soothes, and repairs. It also helps reduce redness and provides a cooling sensation to overheated skin. You can treat sunburn yourself if it is a superficial first- or second-degree burn and the area is small. However, you cannot treat a deep second-degree burn yourself. In this case, consult your doctor.
Why apply Garancia after-sun care?
Sun, pool, and sea tend to dry out the skin. The [EXPRESS SUN REPAIR FRESHNESS MILK MIST] hydrates, soothes, and repairs skin after a day in the sun. Your tan is more radiant, your skin is enhanced, incredibly soft, and leaves a delightful holiday scent.
Where are the filters located in the two-phase formulas of [METAMORPHOSING SOLAR WATERS]?
The filters are present in both phases of the [METAMORPHOSING SOLAR WATERS]. For optimal protection, however, it is necessary to shake them well and mix the two phases.
Are Garancia sun care products water-resistant?
The entire Garancia Laboratory [SUN CARE RANGE] is water-resistant thanks to its naturally derived Technofilm ™ (excluding after-sun products). For optimal protection, however, it is recommended to apply sunscreen generously and evenly before sun exposure and to reapply frequently, especially after sweating, swimming, and toweling.
Are Garancia sun care products available in trial sizes?
Garancia sun care products are not available in trial sizes.
Why does Laboratoire Garancia talk about sun care?
Thanks to the addition of active ingredients with fabulous powers within its formulas, the [SUN RANGE] from Laboratoire Garancia offers much more than simple sun protection.
The presence of medium molecular weight hyaluronic acid in the [INCREDIBLE SOFTNESS INVISIBLE SUN PROTECT FLUID] SPF50+ gives it anti-aging properties and helps maintain hydration. Its optical blurring effect makes it an ideal makeup base.
The [Metamorphosing Sun Waters], for their part, possess an antioxidant action. The [Metamorphosing Red Sun Waters] also contain red algae to accelerate tanning.
Finally, the presence of Vitamin D-like in the [EXPRESS SUN REPAIR FRESH MILK MIST] gives it a soothing and anti-aging action ideal to apply after a day in the sun.
Do Garancia sun care formulas contain fragrance?
The [INVISIBLE SOFTNESS SUN PROTECT FLUID] SPF50+ is fragrance-free. However, the [METAMORPHOSING SUN WATERS], the [INVISIBLE SOFTNESS SUN PROTECT MILK] SPF50+, and the [EXPRESS FRESHNESS SUN REPAIR MILK MIST] have a delightful holiday scent. A slightly stronger fragrance may be noticeable with the [METAMORPHOSING RED SUN PROTECT] SPF30 due to the presence of a tan-accelerating algae in its formula.
Are Garancia sun care products vegan?
Garancia sun care products are vegan, meaning they are free of ingredients of animal origin.
How do Garancia's sun care formulas contribute to better respecting aquatic life?
Garancia's protective sun care formulas have been tested by an independent laboratory on aquatic organisms to be more respectful of marine life.
What is the active tanning accelerator in [RED METAMORPHOSING SUNSCREENS]?
The [RED METAMORPHOSING SUN WATERS] have the property of accelerating tanning thanks to a red algae ( PORPHYRIDIUM CRUENTUM ). The tan is also prolonged.
What type of hyaluronic acid is present in the [INCREDIBLE SOFTNESS INVISIBLE SUN PROTECT FLUID] SPF50+?
The hyaluronic acid present in the [INCREDIBLE SOFTNESS INVISIBLE SUN PROTECT FLUID] SPF50+ is a medium molecular weight hyaluronic acid to give the skin a plumping and smoothing effect.
Are Garancia sun care packaging products recycled?
The bottles of [SUN PROTECT Metamorphic Protective Sunscreen] SPF50+, [SUN PROTECT Metamorphic Red Sunscreen] SPF30, and [SUN PROTECT Metamorphic Red Sunscreen] SPF50+ contain 78% recycled materials*. The bottles of [SUN PROTECT INVISIBLE Softening Sunscreen Lotion] SPF50+ and [SUN REPAIR EXPRESS FRESHNESS MILK MIST] contain 73% recycled materials*. They also come without cardboard overwrap. [SUN PROTECT INVISIBLE SOFTNESS INCREDIBLE FLUID] SPF50+ contains 35% recycled materials*. Its box is made of FSC-certified cardboard from sustainably managed forests. *According to the CITEO standard, which includes all packaging elements.
Can Garancia sun care products be applied under the eye contour?
Garancia sun care products can be applied to the eye contour area. However, we recommend spraying the [METAMORPHOSING SUN WATERS] into your hands before applying them to your face to avoid direct contact with your eyes. We also recommend wearing sunglasses when exposed to the sun.
What is the shelf life of Garancia sun care products?
Once opened, the shelf life of Garancia sun care products is as follows:
- 13 months for the [EXPRESS FRESHNESS SUN REPAIR MILK MIST]
- 12 months for the [INCREDIBLY SOFT INVISIBLE SUN PROTECT FLUID] SPF50+
- 11 months for [ SUN PROTECT Metamorphosing Protective Sun Water ] SPF50+, [ SUN PROTECT Metamorphosing Red Sun Water ] SPF30, [ SUN PROTECT Metamorphosing Red Sun Water ] SPF50+ and [ SUN PROTECT INVISIBLE Softening Sun Milk ] SPF50+.
Furthermore, for the [INCREDIBLE SOFT INVISIBLE SUN PROTECT FLUID] SPF50+, an expiry date is printed on the top part of its tube.
It is recommended to replace your sunscreen every year. When sunscreen remains open for several months, the components that protect the skin from UV rays become less effective. As a result, sun protection is reduced and the risk of sunburn is increased.
Are variations in color/scent normal with Garancia sun care products?
Sunscreen products are formulated with a high percentage of naturally derived raw materials. Therefore, these materials may cause slight variations in color or odor from one batch to another without affecting the product's effectiveness or safety.
What is the UVA vs. UVB ratio in Garancia sun care products?
In accordance with European regulations, Garancia sun care products contain UVA protection of at least 1/3 compared to the UVB index.
