Sunscreen: Persistence of Sun Protection Factor and the Influence on Vitamin D (sunscreen)

July 7, 2008 updated by: Bispebjerg Hospital

Sunscreen Removal by Clothing Meassured in Vivo. Sun Protection Factor Persistence During a Day Indoor Without Physical Activity. Does Sunscreen Reduce Vitamin D?

The investigators want to investigate whether sunscreen is removed by clothing and to what extend when the amount of sunscreen applied varies.Does clothing reduce the SPF when clothes are put on 20, 8, or 4 minutes after sunscreen application? The investigators also want to investigate the persistence of sunscreen during eight hours indoor. How much does the SPF reduces? Furthermore, we want to investigate whether sunscreen in the layers 2, 1, and 0.5 mg/cm2 reduce the vitamin D production in the skin.
