How to use

As long as our certified organic cosmetics are unopened, they remain stable for at least 30 months from the date of production. 

Our cosmetics have no expiry date before opening, as required by the cosmetic regulations. 

All our certified organic cosmetic products have a batch number corresponding to the date of production. 

Only our Self-Tanning Lotion and Self-Tanning Drops have a batch number and an expiry date (DLUO) corresponding to 24 months after the production date.  

Once opened, our organic cosmetic products are subject to an expiry date after opening (OAP). This is written on the pack, in the "cream jar" symbol.

The texture of the face moisturising fluid is lighter than the texture of the face moisturising cream, which is richer in nourishing and protective active ingredients.

The face moisturising cream contains, for example, shea butter, squalane and essential fatty acids that will better protect the skin in case of stress due to cold or dry weather.
The face moisturising  fluid contains, among other things, an active ingredient that, on the contrary, will absorb excess sebum that may be the result of hot or humid weather.

It is hard to say if that will increase the shelf life of the product. 

In any case, keeping products in the fridge is a good tip for some like our after-sun fluid, to make them even more refreshing when put on your skin.

Sun product range: 11 products are hypoallergenic tested, namely the SPF50 Tinted Face Sun Screen, the SPF50+ Face and Body Spray, the SPF50+ Family Spray, the SPF50+ Baby & Child Cream, the SPF50+ Baby & Child Cream SPORT, the SPF50 Face and Body Lotion, the SPF50 Face and Body SPORT Lotion, the SPF50+ Tinted Stick, the SPF50+ Coloured Stick (white, blue, mauve), the SPF30 Sea&Mountain Lip Balm, the SPF30 SPORT Lip Balm.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

Reparative range and Baby range: all products are hypoallergenic tested.

Moisturising range: there are no labelled allergens in each of the 8 products in the range.

Particular attention has been paid to the Eye contour care and Micellar water: both products are fragrance-free and have been tested under dermatological and ophthalmological control on sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.

In general, our Research has as a requirement to limit the number of ingredients within its formulas and to rigorously select only those with the highest tolerance so that our Organic cosmetic care products are as safe as possible and respect the health of your skin.

However, for sensitive and allergic skin, we advise people to carry out a preliminary test on a small area to check that no reactions occur.

Unlike other common household products, cosmetics do not necessarily have an expiration date.

If they have a shelf life of less than 30 months, the expiration date is indicated on the packaging as stipulated in Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009 (EC). Such is the case of our self-tanning products. 

However, if their shelf life exceeds 30 months, the duration for which the product is safe to use after opening is indicated, referred to as the PAO (Period After Opening).

At Laboratoires de Biarritz, in addition to standardized tests to validate stability, we follow the evolution of our products for at least 4 years in real-life conditions. Furthermore, we stock a substantial sample of all our productions for at least 10 years.

Finally, some products do not require any indication of this type, as they are single-use or do not degrade. If you have any doubts, you can contact us for verification of our stored samples.

Out of precautionary measures, we put sure expiry dates on our products.

To calculate this date, we base ourselves on hypothetical calculations taking into account the product composition and the results of different tests that we have performed on each product. This estimation gives us a value that we systematically decrease to avoid any risk linked to product spoilage.

Yes, but not without sunscreen!

The tan coloration obtained with self-tanning skincare is a strictly superficial phenomenon as it is localized in the external layers of the epidermis. This natural color will disappear after several days with the skin's natural process of renewal.

The phenomenon is totally different from a tan obtained thanks to the sun's UVB rays.

For this reason, even self-tanned skin must be protected from the sun by using sunscreen.

You can apply the monoï oil on dry or wet skin and make it penetrate with light circular movements to hydrate, nourish and sublimate your skin.
It is normal for monoi to be frozen at an ambient temperature below 25°C. To make it liquid, you just need to heat it up by passing it under a stream of hot water.

Our soap-free and sulfate-free Oceane shower gel cleans your skin while respecting its sensitivity and natural balance.

You can use our Océane dry oil on the body daily. It can be applied to dry as well as to damp skin, using light circular movements. Its texture quickly penetrates the skin. It does not leave a greasy feeling and allows rapid dressing after its application.

You can use our Océane pearly mist on the skin after you get out of the shower. All you need to do is spray the product on your body and voila! Your skin is well hydrated.

The area is fragile and requires specific skincare with targeted ingredients. Our Organic Revitalizing Eye Contour was specifically formulated to moisturize and protect the skin around the eyes. The area around your eyes looks well-rested, luminous, and revitalized day after day¹.

1. Self-evaluation carried out in parallel with a use test under dermatological supervision on 20 testers, aged between 20 and 50, with different skin types (dry, normal, oily, combination to dry, combination to oily). Evaluation after 21 days of daily use.

Our Océane body mist is composed of beneficial marine active ingredients such as extracts of Alaria Esculenta (brown algae) and Criste Marine. Together, they will help tone, revitalize and soften your skin.

Certified Organic and vegan, our Night Cream is composed of 100% natural-origin ingredients. The Regenerative Night Cream has multiple effects: it intensely moisturizes the skin¹, making it look regenerated and feel soothed for an overnight "makeover" effect².

1. Corneometry after a single application on 12 women with dry skin.
2. User testing performed by 20 trialists, ages 20 to 49, with various skin types (dry, normal, oily, combination to dry, combination to oily) under dermatological supervision. Evaluation after 21 days of use.

Babies have fragile and immature skin that requires specific care adapted to their skin. Each of the baby care products designed by Les Laboratoires de Biarritz has been designed to maintain and protect baby's sensitive skin. They are perfect for all babies except premature babies for everyday use.

This certified Organic face skincare can be used by pregnant and breastfeeding women.

Contrary to many popular beliefs, monoi oil does not protect against the sun. It is used as a moisturizer but does not protect against UVA/UVB rays.

Children's skin has a structure and functions very similar to that of adults, but some functions are immature. The pH value of their skin is higher and its protective function less important. The surface/weight ratio is almost three times higher than in adults: the risk of toxicity is therefore higher because the penetration is three times greater.

Some functional anatomical characteristics are different: skin hyper plasticity with rich dermal vascular network, less thick horny layer, less functional melanocytes in the first year.

The cream intended for the skin of the child therefore requires a specific formulation because if it is different in its structure, it will also be so in its function. Indeed, this skin is more vulnerable and less well fulfills its natural protective function.
