Scientifically validated sun protection
Sun care products represent a unique category where science, safety, and well-being come together to protect the skin from UV-induced damage. Today more than ever, photoprotection is regarded as an essential component of daily skincare, not only to prevent sunburn but also to counteract premature aging and safeguard the skin in the long term.
Bio Basic supports companies in the development and validation of sun care products through comprehensive evaluation pathways, from safety assessment to the demonstration of protective efficacy.
Through tests conducted according to international ISO standards, our team verifies SPF, UVAPF, and water resistance, providing reliable scientific data for claim substantiation and regulatory compliance.
With an integrated approach that combines research, dermatological expertise, and advanced technologies, Bio Basic helps companies develop sun care products that are safe, high-performing, and aligned with market and consumer expectations.
Discover how we can support you in the development and validation of your sun care formulations with customized and scientifically robust testing protocols.
At Bio Basic Lab and accredited partner facilities, we perform:
- Determination of SPF (Sun Protection Factor) according to ISO 24444 for evaluating UVB protection
- Determination of UVA Protection Factor (UVAPF) according to ISO 24443 for evaluating UVA protection
- Water Resistance / Very Water Resistant testing according to ISO 16217 and ISO 18861, to verify protective efficacy after water exposure
- In vitro determination of broad-spectrum protection
- Preliminary in vitro evaluation of UV–HEV–VIS–IR protection
- Preliminary in vitro evaluation of resistance to chlorinated water, saltwater, and artificial sweat
All tests are conducted under medical supervision, on selected volunteers, in full accordance with the ethical principles of Biomedical Research.
