"Muriel and Jean-Marc Dubois, accomplished surfers and ocean-lovers, naturally founded Laboratoires de Biarritz to make certified organic products that are health- and environnementally-friendly." Our Story Created in 2011 by Muriel and Jean Marc Dubois, Laboratoires de Biarritz is the realization of grand ambitions: a project originated of the personal, family and environmental convictions of its founders. Indeed, dedicated surfers and ocean-lovers, the family was looking in vain for sunscreen that was safe for the skin and the marine environment… And so ALGA MARIS was born, certified organic sunscreens, the first range of skincare from Laboratoires de Biarritz. The Ocean, Our Inspiration Passion united Laboratoires de Biarritz with the Ocean. Passion drives our commitments to make cosmetics that respect marine ecosystems. Passion guides us in our research for exceptional molecules of natural origin. Indeed, the ocean abounds with resources with remarkable properties. Among these are seaweed, which push our research in its development of innovative cosmetics.
