Abstract
The sun protection factor (SPF) is the most important quantity to characterize the performance of sunscreens. As the standard method for its determination is based on clinical trials involving irradiation of human volunteers, calculations of sunscreen performance have become quite popular in order to reduce the number of in vivo studies. Such simulations imply the calculation of UV-transmittance of the sunscreen film using the amounts and spectroscopic properties of the UV-absorbers employed, and presuppose the validity of the Beer-Lambert law. As sunscreen films on human skin can contain considerable concentrations of UV-absorbers, it is questioned whether the Beer-Lambert law is still valid for these systems. The results of this work show, that the validity of the Beer-Lambert law is still given at the high concentrations at which of UV-absorbers occur in sunscreen films on human skin.
