Finally, the price is not cheap, between 22 and 25 euros for 40 ml.

Every year, around 14,000 tonnes of sunscreens are dumped into the world's oceans. The chemical UV filters contained in many sunscreen products are harmful to marine life, particularly coral reefs. L'oxybenzone and theoctinoxate and theoctocrylene commonly used in sunscreens, are particularly damaging.
