Summary
of 8-Hour Waterproof and Sweatproof Tests
Sunscreen International
tests
were conducted using a panel of female Caucasians with skin types that
either burn easily or sometimes burn when exposed to sun. (All lights etc.
in accordance with FDA monographs, for sunscreen and waterproof testing.)
Sunblock was applied as prescribed by test instructions. Static
SPF test was performed. Our products were SPF rated 44.83. Test was then
initiated. Subjects then subjected to 30-minute intermittent periods in water
using whirlpool at 75-80 degrees F, circulation jets on
for the duration of immersion periods. Test performed for 16 periods of
alternating 30-minute immersions, 10-minutes out, yielding 8 hours of immersion
time. At end of testing, products maintained rating of 44 or higher.
No adverse effects or any unexpected reactions of any kind were
observed on any of the subjects, during or after any of the several tests.
SPF-44 rated
products maintained SPF ratings of 44 or greater.
SPF-35 and
30 rated 35.83
SPF-30
lip/nose rated 36.92
SPF-15 rated
17 |
Conclusions:
Our 8-Hour sunblocks will stay on a minimum of 8-Hours in or
out of water, with no negative effects to user, and a ZERO WASH-OFF of
sunblock. Products maintain 100% strength.
A word about Xterra and the FDA labeling Laws- The FDA can't
make up their minds- The following info is on hold until further notice
The FDA has set up guidelines for the
labeling of sunscreen products that will go into effect in 2005???. Basically these
laws prohibit a manufacturer from labeling any sunscreen product with an SPF of
greater than 30. Any product that tests above 30 SPF will have to labeled as 30+
regardless of it's tested protection value. Ironman has produced a 30+ label in
anticipation of the labeling law change well before the FDA requires it. Rest
assured however, that whether you choose SPF 44 or 30+ you will be getting the
same level of protection you've come to know and trust Ironman for.
