An innovative method to evaluate "WATER RESISTANT" sunscreen products

Constantly in the forefront in offering Customers new and updated evaluation criteria, ISPE Laboratories today present the latest protocol to determine the sun protection factor.

Further to the recent guidelines established by COLIPA, ISPE has adopted the new method to assess the Solar Protection Factor of Water Resistant Products (SPF Water Resistant and SPF Waterproof - Very Water Resistant).

This procedure entails the complete immersion of the volunteer's skin area submitted to the test, thus calling for the use of an appropriate spa-pool provided with all the technical characteristics required by the new method.

Always committed to perceive market trends and to fully satisfy customer requirements, ISPE has made available in its labs these structures (2 spas) that are immediately effective for the validation of SPF WR in compliance with the new COLIPA norms.

This is yet another sign of the level of quality, timeliness and expertise of our services, conceived and carried out for the success of our Clients.

ISPE: Your ideal partner for guaranteed and certified quality of evaluations.


ISPE SENSORY ANALYSIS or How to be sure to launch a winning product!

Why more and more clients entrust ISPE with projects for the assessment of the sensory profile of their new products or formulas?

SENSORY LIGHTNING IS AT YOUR SERVICE TODAY!

Product life cycles get shorter and shorter. Success smiles to those who are more reactive than competitors in catching the new trends. To meet this requirement, we have created Sensory Lightning, a rapid test which pinpoints within only 15-20 days the sensorial characteristics of a cosmetic (i.e. texture, absorption, stickiness, skinfeel, residual...). Rapidity of execution and low cost are the strong points of this new analytic strategy.

HOW DOES SENSORY LIGHTNING WORK?

Based on the principles of Quantitative Descriptive Analysis, the test is carried out by three highly qualified judges who measure the intensity of the sensorial attributes of a product. The accuracy level of the evaluations is such as to allow the repeatability and reproducibility of the test. Results are presented clearly and effectively, also with graphs.

IN WHICH CASES IS IT USEFUL TO CARRY OUT SENSORY LIGHTNING?

Sensory Lightning can be applied to any type of product and meets several objectives:
- the product is in a development or modification stage and sensorial check is required
- comparison with a competitor's product in order to improve the sensorial imprint in yours
- to support a claim based on a parameter that cannot be measured by instruments
- to adopt a competitive approach, which considers both the sensorial and the chemicalphysical characteristics.
