Evaluation of the efficacy of a product in increasing pigmentation and stimulating melatonin production with and without sunlight exposure

Regulatory reference: Guidelines to Commission Regulation (EU) No 655/2013
Claim: Tanner
Application field: Visage and body cosmetic products.
Description of the test: A first set of baseline measurements will be performed using a Minolta CR200 Colorimeter in order to identify the phototype of the target skin region and its correlated MEDu. The measurement will be repeated at T=0 and T=X days in order to evaluate changes in skin pigmentation.
All measurements will be taken in the same target region. After the treatment, treated and untreated areas will be exposed to 3 irradiation cycles across 5 days using a tanning lamp, in order to quantify the increase in pigmentation. Measurements will be performed using a Colorimeter.
High resolution imaging will be performed using a macro objective with coaxial circular flash, after each cycle of simulated sunlight exposure.
