Suncare Product Testing Services | Qalitex Laboratory

Why Suncare Product Testing Matters

With increasing UV radiation awareness and regulatory scrutiny, suncare product testing is more crucial than ever. Proper evaluation ensures:

• Consumer safety from harmful UVA and UVB exposure

• Scientific validation of SPF and broad-spectrum claims

• Compliance with local and international regulations

• Market acceptance and brand credibility

Did you know? According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, regular use of SPF 15 or higher reduces the risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma by about 40%.
