The internet-based solution enables simulators to explore the performance of sunscreens being developed before starting costsly in-vitro and in-vivo studies. However, now it has been updated to feature immediate dynamic calculations and side-by-side comparisons of multiple formulations, to name just one of the enhancements.

The simulator has helped sunscreen manufacturers all over the world to enhance their formulations, and BASF claims that the latest development now serves to make that process both more ecient and quicker.
