Expert Consensus on Photoprotection Practices: A Delphi Study

This study is a Delphi-based expert consensus project aimed at developing evidence-informed recommendations for photoprotection practices across various populations, including general, at-risk, and special groups (e.g., children, pregnant women, patients with photodermatoses). Despite extensive evidence on the importance of sun protection, there is variability in clinical advice regarding sunscreen selection, application frequency, SPF requirements, adjunctive protective measures, and patient counseling.

Natural Sunlight Protection and Simulated Sunlight Protection Offered by Sunscreens and Fabrics

The purpose of this study is to assess how human skin reacts and how sunscreens and sun protection fabrics protect in natural sunlight compared to their labeled claims, indoor testing methods (existing or modified) and instructions.

Efficacy Evaluation of Products Against Long Wavelength Ultraviolet A1 and Visible Light Induced Biological Effects

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of topical products in providing protection against the visible light and ultraviolet A1 (UVA1) part of sunlight. Ultraviolet radiation and visible light are both components of sunlight that reach the earth. It is important to test these topical products against visible light and UVA1 because our current sunscreens may not protect against these very well.
