Standardized Scoring Method to Assess White Cast of Mineral Sunscreens and Enhance User Compliance Across Skin Tones, Good Molecules LLC

This standardized method measures white cast from mineral sunscreens across skin tones. Validated through in vivo and in vitro studies, it combines colorimetry, expert grading and consumer perception, supported by statistical analyses. Designed for affordable tools and public software, teams can evaluate formulations early in the development process. It connects lab accuracy with real-world acceptability while reducing waste. Unlike previous methods based solely on physics or chemistry, this scalable framework makes white cast a measurable and actionable metric, promoting inclusive design and increased user compliance. It has been peer-reviewed in PLOS ONE (10.1371/journal.pone.0319891) and was presented at FLSCC’s Sunscreen Symposium.
