PA Retention (40 mins, 80 mins, 2 hrs, 4 hrs, 8 hrs)
PA retention is an important measure of a sun protection product's ability to maintain its efficacy against UVA radiation even after exposure to water. It is essential to test the product's PA retention at various time points to ensure the product's performance and provide accurate information to the consumers about the duration of protection.Â
