LA ROCHE-POSAY
MORE RESPECTFUL
OF MARINE LIFE
WHY IS LA ROCHE-POSAY
INVESTING IN MARINE LIFE RESEARCH?
The Oceans, like forests, act as a vital organ for Earth – a natural heat sink and a climate regulator. Although coral reefs only cover less than 0.1% of the Earth’s surface, they host and support up to 30% of total marine bio-diversity.
Recently, there has been a lot of concern around the excessive bleaching of coral reefs worldwide, which has had a great impact on the species that depend on these environments. La Roche-Posay understands the importance of coral reefs on our precious eco-system and is committed to producing sunscreens that do not degrade or impact coral reef symbiosis.

AT LA ROCHE-POSAY WE ARE COMMITTED
TO RESPECT THE ENVIRONMENT
For more than 20 years, La Roche-Posay has been committed to researching the impact of our products on marine life. La Roche-Posay has dedicated whole laboratories and teams to understand how we can minimize the impact our products have on the environment and make marine life respect a top priority. La Roche-Posay has even created a new standard of testing - collaborating and co-creating a coral testing methodology with the Centre Scientifique de Monaco.

TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE
ABOUT ECO-TOXICITY FOR MARINE LIFE
EIGHTY PERCENT OF POLLUTION TO THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT COMES FROM THE LAND
TRUE
Following publications, Non point source, which occurs as a result of runoff, is one of the biggest sources of pollution. They includes many small sources (septic tanks, cars, trucks, boats), plus larger sources (farms, ranches). Millions of motor vehicle engines drop small amounts of oil each day onto roads and parking lots.

THERE ARE MANY PUBLICATIONS THAT STATES SUNSCREEN CAUSES SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO MARINE LIFE
FALSE
Professor Terry Hughes, Director of Australian research council center of excellence for coral reef studies, said “The environmental concerns over sunscreens on coral reefs are centred overwhelmingly on just two studies. The conclusion from the media is sunscreen is killing the world’s coral, and that’s laughable”.
