Each year, more than 300,000 people worldwide are affected by melanoma. Despite current regulations, several studies have shown that the protection levels claimed by some sunscreens do not always reflect their actual effectiveness. It is therefore essential to optimize UV formulations in order to improve their performance. It is also crucial to adapt sunscreens to different regions of the world by considering variations in UV exposure, particularly according to latitude.
During this webinar, you will have the opportunity to discover the key tests required for the development of effective UV protection products:
- Evaluation of photostability before and after irradiation using an Atlas solar simulator
- ROS testing using Propyl Gallate to assess free radical generation
- Evaluation of UVA protection according to ISO 24443:2 standard
- Oxidative Stability Index (OSI) measurement
- Zeta potential measurement at 20°C and 34°C to simulate storage conditions inside the packaging and skin temperature conditions
- DLCMicroscopy
- Measurement of the Critical Perception Threshold (CPT)
- Osmotic pressure measurement
- Determination of the specific surface area of nanometric zinc oxide and titanium dioxide using BET analysis
- Particle Size Distribution (PSD) analysis
- DSC analysis
- Skin Strip analysis for WET-SEM imaging
- Investigation of new molecular structures by NMR spectroscopy
Discover the art of using mineral, hybrid or high-performance organic UVR filters and learn how to optimize protection through advanced formulation strategies. This webinar will also highlight key concepts such as stablewise technology, Think Skin® Time Controlled approach, skin phototype specification, and safewise long-term protection, also referred to as the Anti-Age Factor®.
This approach will allow the exploration of innovative formulation solutions, including Zetabase®, SupraMolecular technologies, advanced emollients, and other high-performance ingredients designed to create efficient, stable, and skin-adapted UV protection products.
Let us show you around modern labs and discover the potential of really efficient UV formulas.
