Ecotoxicity tests by an independent laboratory
The formulas have been tested by an independent laboratory for ecotoxicity on algae and corals in accordance with ISO 10253 / ISO 8692.
The results of these tests demonstrated that, under normal conditions of use, our formulas have no negative impact on marine flora and fauna.
COMPLIANCE WITH HAWAIIAN LAW
Under Hawaiian law, since 1 January 2021, the State of Hawaii has banned the use of certain chemical substances in sun creams. This law lists chemical substances such as oxybenzone and octinoxate that are often found in sun creams, which can often harm or even destroy coral.
Our formulas comply with these regulations.

OUR QUALITY PROMISE (1/2)
Decathlon goes further than international cosmetic regulations and has banned more than 1000 controversial substances that we do not want to find in our products, even if they are authorised on the market. For example, recognised endocrine disruptors and certain preservatives.
OUR QUALITY PROMISE (2/2)
As for UV filters, we are very demanding and only allow in our products a small list of UV filters which have been approved by our toxicologist because they have been proven to be the least harmful to our health or the environment.
