Trial overview
Official title: Determination of UVA Protection Factor (UVAPF) for a cosmetic product
Trial description: Ultraviolet A (UVA) rays penetrate the skin up to the reticular dermins, causing photobiological changes in an indirect manner. The regular use of sunscreens has proved to be efficient in reducing skin effects from UV irradiation, especially erythema, dermal changes and carcinogenesis. This will be an open-label, parallel-control, clinical study to determine the UVA Protection Factor (UVA-PF) of the test product according to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 24442, cosmetics- sun protection test method.
