STATIC SPF DETERMINATION

SPF determination in compliance with the methodologies FDA 2011 and ISO 24444. Methods internally developed for claims substantiation, such as immediate protection and application on wet skin.

Our equipment is calibrated as required by the Colipa Guidelines for UV sources. We have a total of 8 Solar Simulators Multiport (Solar Ligth CO).

UVA EVALUATION - PPD

Evaluation of the UVA-PF (PPD) determination by the standard ISO 24442.

WATER RESISTANCE

Evaluation of water resistance following the methodologies FDA 2011 and Colipa 2005. All bathtubs are individual and specially designed for RA-SPF studies and to avoid interferences.

The water condition (hardness, conductivity, temperature and pH) are controlled in order to improve the study reproducibility and it also can be presented according to the customer requirements.

Claims
