Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Reference standard sunscreen for UVAPF S2  2.00 ± 0.05 mg/cm2 of the test product will be dispensed using a finger cot. Then spread over the whole test site, first with circular movements to gather the droplets and second in horizontal and vertical directions using light pressure. It will be applied once before the UV exposure. 
Intervention  sunscreen cream (PA++++)   2.00 ± 0.05 mg/cm2 of the test product will be dispensed using a finger cot. Then spread over the whole test site, first with circular movements to gather the droplets and second in horizontal and vertical directions using light pressure. It will be applied once before the UV exposure. 
Intervention  sunscreen spray (PA++++)   2.00 ± 0.05 mg/cm2 of the test product will be dispensed using a finger cot. Then spread over the whole test site, first with circular movements to gather the droplets and second in horizontal and vertical directions using light pressure. It will be applied once before the UV exposure.

Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Response - NO
Brief Summary    The test method is a laboratory method that utilizes a solar simulator of defined and known output to determine the protection provided by the sunscreen product on human skin.

On screening visit (within a week from the assessment day), the subjects will be enrolled into the study after obtaining their informed consent. Only subjects who qualify inclusion-exclusion criteria will be enrolled. As part of screening procedure, Spectrophotometer measurement will also be performed on the unexposed area and subject’s upper back (Test Area) to determine ITA° value (Individual Typology Angle) and their eligibility to participate in the study. 
After determination of MPPDDU, the participants will be scheduled for the sunscreen test. 

One of the randomized sites will be exposed to ultraviolet light (Total UV, calibrated with UV-Bio radiometer) without any protection, and the other randomized test sites will be exposed after the application of the test products and reference sunscreen formulation respectively. The following day, MPPDDU (Minimal Persistent pigment darkening dose - untreated site), MPPDDP (Minimal Persistent pigment darkening dose – study product site), MPPDDSTD (Minimal persistent pigment darkening dose – Standard) will be recorded 20 + 4 hours following the UV exposure.

The assessments must be performed at 20 + 4 hours post-exposure. The time between exposure and assessment must be similar for all test sites. These responses will be visually assessed* for the presence of persistent pigmentation (UVAPF), 20 + 4 hours after UV irradiation, by the investigator. Observations of protected (product) and unprotected test sites shall be conducted at the same relative time point after the end of the exposures (i.e. if at 4 h, it is 4 h after completion of exposures for the unprotected site and 4 h after completion of the protected site, not actually at the same time). Observations shall all be made on the same day.
