When developing a new sunscreen or improving an existing formula, you must conduct sunscreen efficacy testing. Sunscreen claims must be supported, including SPF, Water Resistance, and UVA (broad spectrum). Regulatory requirements vary by region, and CPT℠ performs all methods recognized worldwide for compliance.
The laboratory contains 27 single-port solar simulators and 11 multi-port solar simulators, both 150 Watt and 300 Watt. The population of more than 50,000 potential subjects can be qualified using Fitzpatrick phototype, or ITA° using colorimetry. Extensive photographic capabilities capture and record results accurately. These combined capabilities ensures that CPT℠ has the flexibility to conduct your photobiology testing correctly.
In the US and certain regions throughout the world, a sunscreen product is considered an Over-The-Counter (OTC) drug, and must comply with regulations, such as current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) in the US. As part of cGMP a sunscreen product must have a validated expiration date, supported by ongoing stability studies and release testing for each batch. These studies must be conducted with a validated analytical method. Utilizing our analytical chemistry division we can conduct these studies to help you get your product to market.
