Course Description

In the Cosmetic and Personal care market almost every day cream is claimed 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 online session we will review the concept of Sun Protection, SPF, PA, broad spectrum protection and of 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 also recall the correlation between UV damage and the clinical consequences of exposure to UV and discuss the use of UVabsorbing material, of anti-inflammatory agents, of anti-oxidants direct and of boosters of energy production and DNA repair.
