The Laboratoires de Biarritz collection consists of quality sun protection based on mineral filters. These products are developed in France and combine effective UV protection with natural ingredients. Ideal for trail runners and outdoor athletes who are exposed to sun, wind and altitude for long periods.
When do you use these products?
Trail running often means hours outside, often at altitude and without shade. That's when good sun protection is essential. These products are perfect for:
- Long trail runs and ultra trails
- Mountain sports and hiking
- Cycling, climbing and other outdoor activities
- Everyday use in sunny weather
Thanks to water- and sweat-resistant formulas they stay put, even during intense effort.
What should you look for?
When choosing the right sun protection, a few points matter:
- SPF level: choose at least SPF30, and SPF50 in strong sun or at altitude
- Filter type: mineral filters work immediately after application
- Texture: cream, stick or spray, depending on your preference and ease of use
- Water resistance: essential for athletes who sweat

FAQ
Is mineral sun protection better for athletes?
Mineral filters work immediately after application and many athletes find them mild. That's pleasant when sweating and during long efforts.
Does it leave a white cast?
Modern formulas, such as those from Laboratoires de Biarritz, greatly minimise this effect.
How often should I reapply during a trail run?
Reapply every 2 hours, and more often if you sweat a lot or after contact with water.
