Non-Migration Testing
Migration testing measures how a formula moves away from the applied area of the skin. Why is this important? When applied to the face, a product often runs into the eyes creating irritation during water activities or active sports. This stinging effect is particularly detrimental to children. In addition, with sun protection formulas the migration will reduce its protection over time.
Whether you are preparing for an FDA OTC product launch, EU compliance, or global market entry, our team ensures your sunscreen claims meet all necessary standards.*
