I am sorry I do not know if this product is biodegradable. You might consider emailing the company directly.

Sorry - I don't know.... the plastic bottle is, but the product, well it does eventually wash out in a pool!

I purchased a bottle in early summer of this year (2014) and it expires July 2015. I personally wouldn't buy sunscreen in bulk. Last year at the beach I used newly purchased face sunscreen on my face and my one year old regular sunscreen on my body. I reapplied both at regular intervals. At the end of the day my face was protected and my body from the neck down looked like a lobster. I will never use expired or nearly expired sunscreen ever again. Saving a few bucks is not worth a sunburned baby!

As far as I know, plastic that will break down into tiny little pieces is still plastic and that is not truly biodegradeable. Cornstarch I think is biodegradeable but I am having difficulty finding cornstarch bags since the ones I used to buy were recalled.

The product does not list any fragrances in the ingredients list. It's totally hypoallergenic and biodegradable. Amazing product with no fragrances that I've noticed or read on label.They have three products I think. The other two might have a specific smell (spring fresh) but I always get the unscented version.

This is a mostly natural lotion. It isn't a sunscreen. There aren't any sunscreen ingredients.

I don't think so. Like most mineral sunblocks it seems pretty pore-clogging/breakout-inducing.

Yes, They Do Describe Them As Biodegradable Besides Being Made From recycled Material. They Decompose Within A 12 To 18 Month Period Supposedly. I Love Them, Smell Good To Help Hide The Odor And Are Plenty Big Enough Also.

I have checked the packaging and the bag and can find nothing about being biodegradable. I was under that impression from another reviewer I guess, but nothing is said to bear that out.

I think it's another way of stating biodegradable. I believe some states have regulations on printing biodegradable on the packaging so they use EPI certified in place. If you look up www.epi-global.com there is more info there. Hope that helps!

Nope. Very simple formula, no chemical sunscreens just zinc, coconut oil, wax and something to emulsify it all, the ingredients are listed on their website.

The active chemicals in the product are not organic and thus would not fit the definition of bio-degradable in my opinion. The product does break down to nonreactive byproducts that are bound to the carbon atoms in the materials that are cleaned away from the toilet. Some small amount of carbon dioxide will be released as will be the case with any effective cleaner. A small amount of boron gas will evaporate during the time when no organic material is available to be broken down. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the worst for the environment I would rank this product 2. Disclaimer: I am not a chemist.

Yes it is....I looked on the back of the ones I bought and the seller label says its Biotene.

I believe the manufacturer states that on their packaging. The paper globe is bio-degradable; I would assume the fine wire collar is eventually bio-degradable. Read the package specifications on the description of their product stated on Amazon.

I bought these for that purpose but honestly they don't appear to be biodegradable. They seem exactly like those blue ones I used to get except that they are pink. Perhaps they are and they just don't say it on the product box (or bag). I was just going off the description of the product but didn't see it anywhere on the product itself.

Yes, look for the Safe for septic tank logo on Ecover product to check for septic tank safety. All of their products are completely biodegradable. :)

I do not know, but I have been using this product for many years and it is the best sunscreen I have ever used.
