About ECOSUN PASS®

Based on a sense of environmental responsibility, scientific discipline and sensitivity to consumer wishes, BASF™ is introducing a methodology to assess the environmental impact of sunscreen formulations.

ECOSUN PASS® solves the dilemma between the need for effective suncare and environmental protection. The tool evaluates, provides answers and paves the way for sun protection products that are good for humans and nature. Above all, this certification opens the door to players who want to take matters into their own hands and meet the challenges of the future and the wishes of consumers.

ECOSUN PASS® criterias

• Acute Aquatic Toxicity • damage caused to an aquatic organism due to short-term exposure to a substance.
• Chronic Aquatic Toxicity • damage to an aquatic organism caused by long-term exposure to a substance.
• LOGPOW • a logarithm of the partition coefficient between a defined octanol-water mixture. The toxicity of the solvent is inversely proportional to this value.
• Biodegradation • degradation of materials by micro-organisms such as bacteria, fungi or other biological means.
• Bioaccumulation • accumulation of substances in an organism due to absorption at a faster rate than that at which the substance is lost through catabolism and excretion.
• Endocrine Suspicion • a substance that has been shown to disrupt the hormonal system of organisms. Such a substance cannot be considered environmentally friendly.
• Terrestrial Toxicity Toxicity is a harmful effect of a substance on terrestrial flora and fauna.
