Sunscreen Studies

Study Description

Our sunscreen studies help evaluate how well sunscreen products protect the skin from the sun and confirm they are safe to use. During the study, sunscreen is applied to small areas of your back, followed by controlled exposure to simulated sunlight to measure how well the product performs. Some studies also evaluate water resistance after water exposure. Participation may require several clinic visits, and compensation typically ranges from $50 to $250, depending on the study.
Compensation: Up to $250.00
