Alternative (non-animal) methods for cosmetic testing: current status and future prospects – UV-induced effects

, , ,
Cosmetic ingredients and mixtures of ingredients absorbing UV light (in particular UV filter chemicals used, for example, to ensure the light stability of cosmetics or used in sun protection products) should be tested for acute phototoxic and photogenotoxic potential.
