The invention belongs to the technical field of cosmetic
efficacy evaluation, and discloses a sunscreen
efficacy evaluation method and application thereof, and the method comprises the following steps: building a blank group; establishing a model group; establishing a sample group; performing constant-temperature incubation on the blank group, the model group and the sample group for a first period of time, recording a swimming track, and calculating swimming distance increment and after-sun
burning pain relieving efficiency of each group of
zebrafish; performing constant-temperature incubation on the blank group, the model group and the sample group for a second duration, recording the
tail fin and
dorsal fin area of the zebra fish, and calculating the
sunburn prevention efficiency; performing constant-temperature incubation on the blank group, the model group and the sample group for a third period of time, recording the head
melanin area of the zebra fish, and calculating the anti-
sunburn efficiency; and grading the
sunscreen effect of the sample. The method disclosed by the invention has the advantages of low cost, short test period, high reproducibility, high
visualization degree, intuitive and understandable test result and the like, and can be used for accurately grading the sunscreen effects of chemical
sunscreen agents, water-soluble sunscreen
cosmetics and raw materials thereof from the
whole animal level.
