Sunscreen optimizer
This might be useful.

Although, I have to wonder how useful since sunscreen SPF values depend heavily on how the formula is produced, not just on the actives used.

Though I understand nano is best for sunscreen filters, I wish both this and BASF’s Sunscreen Simulator had options for non-nano TiO2 and ZnO. I get a lot of requests for “physical” SPF BB Cremes and moisturizers for the Whole Foods crowd.

what we could really do with is some kind of study investigating how the measured SPF correlates to the elastic modulus and/or cone penetration of a formula, since those are the other major factors which affect it in practise
in my experience the BASF simulator tends to underestimate the actual in-vivo SPF value, and conversely, Labspheres tend to overestimate it, though both are generally accurate when it comes to UVA/UVB ratios
