Laboratoire Garancia

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 make it enjoyable to protect oneself effectively from the sun by putting sensory experience and natural ingredients back at the heart of sun protection.

A range incorporating the assessment of the potential environmental impact on aquatic model organisms, such as algae and corals

Independent tests were carried out with our sun formulas and marine zooplankton organisms (Artemia salina and/or Acartia tonsa) and phytoplankton (Phaeodactylum tricornutum).

They were chosen as model species sensitive to contaminants and because of their ecological relevance , but we recognize that they cannot represent the full richness of biodiversity in marine ecosystems.

This initiative is a first step towards a better understanding of the potential impact of our formulas on the marine environment.

*YUKA rating: January 2026

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 integrated into our formulas are selected according to our internal formulation charter, which guides our choices in terms of performance, stability and formulation compatibility, in compliance with the regulatory framework in force.

Through this approach, Laboratoire Garancia aims to offer a new generation of sun care products combining effectiveness, sensoriality and formulation requirements.

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.

Our marine impact tests

Independent tests were carried out with our sun formulas and marine zooplankton organisms (Artemia salina and/or Acartia tonsa) and phytoplankton (Phaeodactylum tricornutum).

They were chosen as model species sensitive to contaminants and because of their ecological relevance , but we recognize that they cannot represent the full richness of biodiversity in marine ecosystems.

This initiative is a first step towards a better understanding of the potential impact of our formulas on the marine environment .

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+

How to properly apply your sunscreen?

For each zone:

<strong>For a cream format:</strong>
For a cream format:
Apply a thick line of sunscreen from the tip of your middle finger to your palm, per area.
<strong>For a spray format:</strong>
For a spray format:
Spray into hands before applying to the face. Spray 15 times per area on the body.

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.

Effective on different skin types

Skin phototype is the classification of the skin's sensitivity and natural protection against UV rays.

Phototype 1

Your skin is very white, often with freckles, and your hair is blond or red.


Sunburn is inevitable; you never tan. Avoid sun exposure and protect yourself.

Phototype 2

Your skin is fair, sometimes with freckles, and your hair is blond/red to brown.


Sunburn is common and tanning is rare or very slow. Avoid sun exposure and protect yourself.

Phototype 3

Your skin is medium colour and your hair is light brown or dark brown.


Sunburn is occasional and your tan will develop gradually. You can expose yourself to the sun progressively, cautiously and with sun protection.

Phototype 4

You have olive skin and brown/black hair.


Sunburn is occasional and your tan develops quickly. You can expose yourself gradually, cautiously, and with sun protection.

Phototype 5

Your skin is dark brown and your hair is black.



Sunburns are rare and you tan easily. You can gradually increase your sun exposure while using sun protection.

Phototype 6

Your skin is black and your hair is black.



Sunburn is rare. You can gradually expose yourself to the sun while using sun protection.

  • 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, 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);


(1)March 2024.

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.

What is our approach to taking into account and seeking to limit the potential environmental impact of our solar formulas?

Independent tests were conducted with our sunscreen formulas and marine zooplankton (Artemia salina and/or Acartia tonsa) and phytoplankton (Phaeodactylum tricornutum) organisms. These were chosen as model species sensitive to contaminants and due to their ecological relevance, but we recognize that they cannot represent the full richness of marine ecosystem biodiversity. This initiative is a first step towards a better understanding of the potential impact of our formulas on the marine environment .

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.
