Independent SPF/PA Testing for FDA Claim Support

Yes, you can definitely send your product for SPF and PA testing yourself. The resulting lab report can be used under your brand name to support sunscreen efficacy claims when registering or updating your product information with the Thai FDA.

MySkinRecipes offers a measurement service specifically designed for this purpose:

Sunscreen Measurement Service

• SPF UVA, UVB measurement service (Boots Star/PA eq.): This service measures SPF and UVA protection (PA equivalent) using In-Vitro methods.
  • Turnaround Time: Approximately 1-2 business days.
  • Usage: The report will list the product name you provide. This document is valid for submission to the Thai FDA to claim sunscreen effectiveness.
  • Sample Requirement: 30 grams of a homogeneous sample (the product must not be separated).

Additional Recommendations:

1. Product Name Consistency: When submitting the sample for testing, ensure the product name you provide matches the name registered with the FDA exactly. This ensures the documentation is consistent and valid for your brand.
2. FDA Claim Update: Once you receive the lab report, you can use it as supporting evidence to update your product's claims in the FDA system, allowing you to legally display "SPF50 PA+++" on your packaging and marketing materials.
3. Factory Standards: Since your factory already has ISO9001 and ISO22716, the production quality is likely reliable, but having your own independent lab report provides the necessary legal verification for the specific SPF/PA values.
