<\/span>What is a Phototoxicity Test?<\/span><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t[vc_column_text text_larger=”no” woodmart_inline=”no”]Phototoxicity refers to a harmful response that takes place when your skin is exposed to sunlight or environmental light subsequent to the application of photoactive substances. Essentially, when these substances absorb light, they induce toxicity that resembles an intensified sunburn.<\/p>\r\n

The assessment of phototoxicity is a non-animal test, conducted to determine the presence of photoactive substances in tested products using various testing techniques. TIBD offers test methods that align with the guidelines established by the OECD.[\/vc_column_text]\n\t\t

This test compares the viability of cells exposed to the test cosmetic products or ingredients under light and dark conditions. A positive result indicates that the product or ingredient may have phototoxic effects when applied to the skin and eyes.
\r\n\u2022 Reactive Oxygen Species Assay for Photoreactivity:<\/strong> The Reactive Oxygen Species Assay for Photoreactivity assesses the phototoxic potential of cosmetic ingredients or products by evaluating whether irradiated chemicals produce reactive oxygen species when exposed to sunlight. The presence of reactive oxygen species indicates the potential for phototoxicity.
\r\n\u2022 EpiDerm\u2122 H3D-PT:<\/strong> EpiDerm\u2122 H3D-PT is an in vitro phototoxicity test that was developed and pre-validated 20 years ago. It is used to identify the phototoxic potential of topical chemicals and formulations by exposing them to the air-exposed surface of a human reconstructed epidermis model. This test is non-animal, as it does not involve the use of live animals in the testing process.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”4210″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” el_class=”image-shadow” parallax_scroll=”no”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”4208″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” el_class=”image-shadow” parallax_scroll=”no”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”section-bottom-border-thin” css=”.vc_custom_1594633511192{padding-top: 5vh !important;padding-bottom: 5vh !important;}” mobile_bg_img_hidden=”no” tablet_bg_img_hidden=”no” woodmart_parallax=”0″ woodmart_gradient_switch=”no” row_reverse_mobile=”0″ row_reverse_tablet=”0″ woodmart_disable_overflow=”0″][vc_column]\n\t\t
