Safety Assessment of Sunscreens

Sunscreens are essential for protecting the skin from damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, preventing sunburn, premature aging and even skin cancer.

However, with the variety of products available on the market, there are products that are more or less safe, depending on their ingredients and formulations.

In addition to efficacy, sunscreen safety is also a crucial factor to be considered when developing a sunscreen and making it available to the consumer.

Sunscreen Safety Assessment:

SF Safety Consulting & Innovation can help your company develop Solar Filters with safe ingredients that do not affect people's health and prepare safety assessment reports.

SF Consulting carries out the Sunscreen Safety Assessment where it is important to consider aspects of the product:

  • Ingredients: Assessment of the toxicological risk of each ingredient that makes up the product so that they are safe and well tested, such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, avoiding products with sensitizing fragrances, preservatives and chemical filters that cause endocrine disruption and other potentially irritating ingredients.
  • Margin of safety (MoS) calculation: determine the concentration of substance use to reduce the risk of adverse effects depending on the time of exposure, location and area of exposure.
  • Particle Size: verify the particle size distribution of the physical (or inorganic) filter and define the analyzes and tests that must be carried out for nanomaterials.
  • Efficacy tests: indicate laboratories that carry out methods validated and required by regulatory bodies and analyze the data obtained by the tests to define the spectrum of action of the sunscreen (UVA/UVB, Infra Red, Visible).

How important is the Security Assessment?

  • The combination of safety assessment and testing is essential to ensure the safety and quality of cosmetic products.
  • Companies must stay up to date with best practices and regulations to ensure product safety and consumer trust.
  • Ensuring the safety of cosmetic products is fundamental to consumer reputation and trust.
