BASF Sunscreen Simulator: online formulation support |
|
The web-based Sunscreen Simulator allows BASF customers to calculate a formulation's sunburn protection factor (SPF, also known as sun protection factor). The simulator enables a virtual combination of different UVA, UVB and broad-spectrum filters in various dosages according to user specifications. The main benefits for formulators are: they can test their formulations' photo stability online, thereby shortening the testing period and reducing time to market. The facility is available on the Internet as of in-cosmetics at http://www.sunscreensimulator.basf.com. |
