In the Cosmetic and Personal care market almost every day cream claims to offer a sun protection factor or SPF, and body products for summer holidays claim high SPF numbers. In the U.S. the sun-filters (UV absorbing molecules) are listed on a positive list, they are considered drugs which can be sold over the counter (OTC) and their claims (protection against sunburn, skin cancer and skin aging) are regulated by the FDA.

In this 90-minute accredited ON DEMAND webinar we will review the concept of Sun Protection, SPF, PA, broad spectrum protection and critical wavelength. We will provide information about the key parameters playing relevant roles in the achievement of the SPF/PA values of a topical product. We will discuss the use of UV absorbing material of anti-inflammatory agents and anti-oxidants direct.

This course is intended for professionals in the cosmetic and personal care industry, pharmaceutical skincare, and skin care-related medical devices. It will be especially valuable for:

– Professionals with a background in Biology and Dermatology who wish to strengthen their knowledge on how to avoid UV-induced damage

– Formulation chemists committed to the preparation of SPF/PA products

– Professionals committed to Marketing/Sales/Product Development and Communication
