Experiments have been conducted and a publication presenting the results of the ALT-SPF study is under preparation. This website will close in November. Information about the ALT-SPF results and publications will be posted on Cosmetics Europe’s website once available.
We are seeking partners who can donate sunscreen test samples for a large ‘ring study’ that aims to compare in vivo SPF values from several alternative SPF methodologies to those from the International Standard ISO24444 – partners could be either within or outside the Consortium. Ideally, donated samples should be currently- / recently-marketed products. >>> DOWNLOAD THE CALL FOR SAMPLES
