| Résumé : |
The objective of the work was to test a web-based tool in the collection and presentation of data for our regular sunscreen surveys and to develop, test and conduct a web-based survey of sunscreen products, with instant data reporting. After the Photobiology Laboratory at MEDUNSA was approached by SurveyIT to pilot a new web-based data collection and reporting tool, companies were contacted via e-mail and invited to visit a secure web-based site to complete the provided questionnaire. Data collection and processing were greatly simplified by the new approach. The survey gleaned responses from 18 companies on 31 brands with a total of 110 primary sunscreen products. The data revealed a reduction in the number of companies marketing sunscreens in South Africa compared with the previous year, despite an increase in the volume of sunscreen sales. Ninety-eight percent of the products were claimed to be in vivo SPF tested. Fifty-seven percent of the products had undergone in vitro SPF testing for determination of their UVA protection. Fifty-one percent of the products were claimed to be water-resistant. Octyl methoxycinnamate was the most popular UV filter (88% of products), followed by benzophenone-3 (60%). Butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane was in 52% of the products and surprisingly only 29% of the products contained titanium dioxide. The major conclusions are that the data collection tool was a success and that sunscreens are becoming more widely used and more thoroughly tested in South Africa. |
