SPF testing that proves sun protection and meets global standards

ALS provides SPF and UVA testing that meets expectations across regulators, retailers, and markets. Our protocols follow FDA (U.S.), ISO 24444 (EU), and requirements in LATAM and APAC, where sunscreens are often regulated as health products.

Testing supports the validation of advanced UV filters like Bemotrizinol (BEMT / Tinosorb S) for global markets. Our studies are designed to ensure your SPF, UVA, and water resistance claims hold up. Whether you're launching a daily SPF moisturizer, tinted sunscreen, or mineral sun care product, we help ensure your label matches lab results. With ISO-certified labs, solar simulation, and submission-ready reports, you avoid delays, reformulations, and claim rejections.

 

What you receive from SPF and UV protection testing

  • SPF value using validated FDA or ISO protocols

  • UVA Protection Factor (UVAPF) and critical wavelength analysis

  • Validated analytical quantification for actives and next-generation filters including Bemotrizinol (Tinosorb S)

  • Batch release support including method transfer and ongoing quality control

  • Broad spectrum pass/fail status

  • Water resistance (40 or 80 minute) validation

  • Photostability testing under simulated solar exposure

  • Submission-ready reports formatted for U.S., EU, LATAM, and APAC

  • Optional: consumer-safe language summaries for retail or PDP listings
