Perfecting sun protection from topical products

The level and quality of UV protection provided by sun products have dramatically improved over the past three decades as our knowledge and understanding of protection requirements increase, product and testing technologies advance and new sunscreen molecules and technologies become available.

The recent European Commission guidelines for testing and labelling of sun products have paradoxically added both clarity and complexity into developing, testing and marketing of sun products. All this activity is moving towards one goal, Perfection of Protection against the damaging UV rays of the sun.

The conference provided up-to-date information on:

  • The clinical effects and treatments of solar effects on skin structure and function
  • Genetic aspects in sun exposure and protection
  • The protection requirements of an ideal sun product
  • Advances in sun product technologies
  • Changes in the regulatory requirements in Europe, USA and Australia
  • Winning the media battle of the annual scare stories on sun products
  • Update on the progress of ISO programme for testing sun products (UVA and SPF)
  • How to comply with the new EC regulations in testing and labelling
  • In vitro versus in vivo SPF testing
  • Future challenges in sun product development
  • How much more perfection is needed?
