Suncare
Suncare focuses on protecting the skin from the harmful effects of sunlight, including sunburn, premature ageing, and the increased risk of skin cancer caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Suncare formulations typically include a variety of ingredients to ensure adequate protection against UV rays and to maintain the product's stability and usability.

Our Development Process
Our development process begins with an in-depth consultation to understand your goals and preferences. We then screen prototype formulations using our advanced Labsphere UV-2000 Ultraviolet Transmittance Analyser to predict anticipated SPF Values in vitro before sending samples off for in-vivo testing to prove the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of a formulation.
We work closely with trusted testing partners to conduct the in-vivo and UVA tests required to validate SPF claims. These tests are essential to proving the sun protection efficacy of a formulation, ensuring your product complies with regulatory standards and delivers on its promises. As part of our comprehensive service, we manage the entire testing process on your behalf, from coordinating with testing labs to overseeing the final results.
