To obtain a complete UV absorbance spectrum, the in vitro absorbance values are adjusted according to the data obtained via DRS, enabling the in vitro UVB absorbance to be mathematically linked to the UVA portion measured by DRS.  <\/p>\n<p>*Available from WENEOS from January 2025 (ref.

The UVAPF assessment, designed to quantify a product&#8217;s protection against UVA rays, is carried out in accordance with the latest standards in force. This approach is part of our drive to optimize product development and comply with regulatory requirements. Note that UVAPF will be affected by several factors (phototype, quantity, spreading quality, external conditions, etc.) and should be considered as a scale (indication) of relative effectiveness in limiting the appearance of persistent pigmentation, used as a reference for consumer choice.
