New methods for assessing secondary performance attributes of sunscreens suitable for professional outdoor work

Table 1 Secondary performance attributes representing real-life working conditions of outdoor workplaces according to [32]

	Performance attribute (PA)
PA 1	Bio-stability on the skin
PA 2	Eye irritation (burning)
PA 3	Absorption time
PA 4	Grip and subjective skin feeling
PA 5	Compatibility with textiles
PA 6	Dust and dirt absorption
PA 7^*	Whitening effect

PA = Performance attribute
^* During the course of the study, it was noticed that after the application of some test products white product residues remained on the skin (so-called “whitening effect”). Therefore, this PA was subsequently included in the study, even though the criterion is not directly derivable from the literature
