Objective
To work step by careful step towards establishing an in vitro method for evaluating sunscreen performance
Alternatives:
Transpore tapeGround quartz glassVitro-Skin
Vitro-Skin
Of these substrates only Vitro-Skin has a surface topography like human skin.
Vitro-Skin requires hydration and is expensive. It requires carefully standardised conditions and does yield reliable results.
MimSkin® v.1.0Only addresses the evaluation of UVAMultiple use (> 2000 tests per unit [to date])No need to regrind, easily cleanedSPF results indicative onlyV.2.0 (in progress) will address SPF
