Garnier Assists in Conservation of Bioluminescent Bays

Garnier, known for its skin and hair care products, has created an alliance with Wall-Mart, Sam’s, Amigo and the Department of Natural and Environmental Resources for the purpose of undertaking an effort dedicated to the conservation of the bioluminescent bays in Puerto Rico.  With a compromise of preserving and appreciating beauty in nature as well as in human beings, Garnier will donate all the funds collected in the sale of the glow in the dark bracelets to the natural reserves of Mosquito Bay in Vieques and La Parguera in Lajas.

Puerto Rico and its adjacent islands comprise the zone of the highest concentration of bioluminescent activity in the world.   The red, white and black mangroves create a rich ambience for marine and wild life that with its ecosystem and food chain help to purify the water.  When nighttime arrives, the bays are transformed to reveal a natural spectacle with millions of bioluminescent lanterns.  “Garnier attributes great importance to nature from using it as an inspiration in the selection of natural ingredients for their products, to creating programs to give back to the planet through their support of responsible environmental programs,” said Dennisse Díaz, Consumer Senior Brand Manager of L’Oreal Caribe.

To support the bioluminescent bays, you can purchase the bracelets in the Wal-Mart Sam’s, and Amigo stores.  Your contribution will allow these beauties of nature to be enjoyed by future generations.
