Résumé : |
For the purpose of evaluating the risk for consumers who apply less sunscreen than the standard test application amount, the DGK Task Force. "Sun protection" initiated a multicenter study in accordance with the in vivo test protocol of the International Sun Protection Factor (SPF) Test Method. Three different amounts (0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg/cm2) of three commercial sunscreens were investigated in three test centers. The main result obtained was a linear dependence of the SPF on the quantity applied. The recommendation to use an application quantity of 2.0 mg/cm2 is clearly driven by the aim to produce reliable and reproducible in vivo resluts. In the subsequent in vitro multicenter study, possible methodologies and strategies for improved accuracy of the determination of the SPF on sandblasted PMMA plates were compared. Influencing factors such as the amount of product applied, pretreatment of the samples, equilibration time and temperature, and the quality of the spectrophotometer were taken into account. An overall decrease in the standard deviations within single laboratories could be achieved for in vitro SPF testing but no improvement in the span of interlaboratory differences was obtained.
The complete findings obtained from this multicenter study could perhaps serve as a solid basis for increasing the reliability of a future in vitro SPF method. |
