Protection against Visible light

Prolonged exposure to Visible Light (VIS) from 400 nm to 700 nm is mainly caused by natural light. This exposure contributes to skin damage via the induction of radical protection, while relative protection can be effective and should be reliably assessed.

WENEOS has been at the forefront of the development of in vitro methods for assessing the Blue Light (BL) – also known as High Energy Visible (HEV) – Visible (VIS) and Infrared (IR) protection offered by sun protection products. It is a fully validated and impartial independent test.

Note: This test method has not been reviewed or standardized by ISO (International Organization for Standardization), the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) or any other worldwide regulatory agency. The test report does not provide any guarantee regarding the labeling and/or substantiation of claims, implicit or explicit.

In Vitro Visible Light

Cette méthode in vitro innovante consiste à évaluer les niveaux de protection visible exprimés par le VIS-CW (balance UV/VIS) et le %VIS (pourcentage d’intensité de protection VIS) d’un produit de protection solaire à travers le spectre (de 290 nm à 700 nm) mesurée au moyen d’une méthode spectrophotométrique. Pour tenir compte de toute photo-instabilité potentielle, le produit a été pré-irradié avant la mesure. Enfin, cette méthode repose sur l’utilisation de résultats FPS in vivo pour mettre à l’échelle la courbe d’absorbance.
