Determination of sun protection factors in the hairless mouse
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 1981SynopsisA laboratory method for determining sun protection factors (SPF) in the hairless mouse has been developed. The ability of the method to predict the SPF in man has been investigated using sunscreen ingredients and finished products with known activities in man. The results indicate that the hairless mouse can be used to assess sunscreen products

SynopsisThe absorption of ultraviolet light by a film of sunscreen product on the surface of the skin is considered from a theoretical standpoint. It is apparent that Beer‐Lambert's Law would predict protection factors in excess of the actual factors by many orders of magnitude.

Sun protection factors: world wide confusion
British Journal of Dermatology, 2009The Sun Protection Factor (SPF) is a very popular instrument in the marketing of sunscreens. Unfortunately it is often not understood how sunscreens work and where the limitations of the SPF are. A lot of aspects of the SPF are confusing, e.g. the race for higher and higher numbers, the effect on SPF when less sunscreen is applied and if sunscreen ...

Durability of the sun protection factor provided by dihydroxyacetone
Photodermatology, Photoimmunology & Photomedicine, 2004Background/Purpose: The sunless tanning agent dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is known to protect against longwave ultraviolet radiation (UVA) and visible light. Recently, our laboratory has shown that DHA in addition offers a modest sun protection factor (SPF) in humans. We conducted this study in order to investigate the durability of the SPF provided by DHA.

Sun Protection by Beach Umbrella vs Sunscreen With a High Sun Protection Factor
JAMA Dermatology, 2017Sun-protective behavior affects skin cancer prevention. Shade works by physically shielding skin from direct harmful UV rays; however, skin may still remain exposed to reflected and indirect UV rays. There is no current standard metric to evaluate shade for its effectiveness in sun protection, and there is insufficient clinical evidence that a beach ...

Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2004
The present work uses the initial step of the whole cascade of biological effects in the skin, the creation of free radicals by means of UVA/UVB radiation, to develop a total sun protection factor. Until now, existing in vivo indices have not been fully satisfying: SPF only reflects protection from UVB light, and persistent pigment darkening is ...

The Reliability of Sun Protection Factor
1991The current test procedure for determination of the sun protection factor (SPF) of sunscreen preparations (Federal Register 1978), which is based on the mean SPF of a test group, leads to an inevitable bias, since the result largely depends on the dose increments and the range of irradiation doses selected for determination of the minimal erythema dose
