Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Visual evaluation of irradiated skinUpto 2 weeksVisual evaluation of irradiated test area will be carried out to determine Minimal Erthemal Dose (MED). The lowest irradiation dose producing perceptible erythema will be chosen as MED. The individual SPF (SPFi) for each test product will be determined by calculating the ratio of the MED on test product protected skin (MEDp) to the MED on unprotected skin (MEDu).
