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.

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.
