Also per the company, the sunscreens have been tested in real-use conditions utilizing a UV camera to visualize the formulas upon application to the skin, as well as how they evolve over time.
Shikonin 98% Malorie Duvent, cosmetic evaluation manager and sun care expert at Gattefossé, commented: “We have been working on sun care for eight years now. Our ingredients enable [us] to create innovative textures with all kinds of UV filters. Our expert sensory panel helps us to optimize the sensory profiles of our sun care products. Performance being a priority, we test our formulas to guarantee the protective efficacy (SPF in vitro and in vivo, UVA), the water resistance and the photostability of UV filters."
