Comprehensive Sunscreen and UV Protection Testing for Cosmetics
The importance of sunscreen and UV protection in cosmetics cannot be overstated. As we spend more time outdoors, the need to protect our skin from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation has become a critical factor in skincare and cosmetic product development. Ensuring that these products meet stringent standards is essential for maintaining consumer trust and compliance with regulatory requirements.
Our laboratory specializes in providing comprehensive testing services for sunscreen and UV protection within the cosmetics sector. We employ state-of-the-art equipment and follow international standards such as ISO 21362, ASTM D7802, and others to ensure accurate results. Our team of experts ensures that every test is conducted with precision and thoroughness.
Our testing process begins with a detailed review of the product formulation, followed by rigorous laboratory analysis. Specimen preparation involves applying the sunscreen sample according to predefined protocols. We use various techniques such as spectrophotometry and photothermal calorimetry to measure the SPF (Sun Protection Factor) and PA+ ratings.
Our services cover a wide range of aspects, including:
- Spectroscopy Analysis: Measuring UV protection levels using advanced spectroscopic techniques.
- In Vitro Testing: Conducting tests on human skin models to assess the efficacy and safety of the product.
- Consumer Sensory Panels: Evaluating consumer acceptance through sensory evaluations.
We also provide stability testing to ensure that the sunscreen maintains its effectiveness over time. This includes accelerated aging tests under controlled conditions to simulate long-term use. Our commitment to quality is reflected in our adherence to international standards and continuous improvement processes.
Our expertise extends beyond just laboratory analysis. We offer guidance on formulation adjustments based on test results, helping brands optimize their products for maximum protection and consumer satisfaction. Compliance with global regulations such as the European Union’s Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 is also a key part of our service.
By choosing us, you gain access to a comprehensive suite of services designed specifically for the cosmetics sector. Our goal is not only to meet but exceed your expectations in terms of product quality and safety.
