In this final step of our exploration of sun care products in preparation for the Rencontres by SFC in June, we take a close look at the efficacy tests accompanying these products. In addition to stability tests, which are standard for all cosmetic products, a wide range of additional tests, whether mandatory or optional, is available.
The development of sun care formulas is one of the most complex and stimulating fields of today’s cosmetic industry. With growing consumer demand for products combining performance, pleasant sensory feel, innovative textures, environmental respect, and health safety, formulators are constantly challenged to create the perfect sun care product. This mission is made even more difficult in a context where consumers are increasingly informed and demanding, while regulations evolve rapidly. In addition, these regulations differ significantly from one country to another, further complicating global product launches.
