METHOD FOR MEASURING ULTRAVIOLET PROTECTION EFFECT OR INFRARED PROTECTION EFFECT OF AQUEOUS COMPOSITION CONTAINING ULTRAVIOLET ABSORBING AGENT OR INFRARED BLOCKING AGENT, AND APPARATUS FOR PREPARING MEASUREMENT SAMPLE

摘要

An object is to measure absorbance of aqueous cosmetic materials that have not heretofore been studied for absorbance measurement, and particularly to form a uniform layer of thin film in order to ensure accurate measurement without causing these aqueous cosmetic materials, which are O/W emulsions, to undergo phase separation during measurement. As a means for achieving the foregoing, an absorbance measurement method is provided, wherein an absorbent aqueous composition is applied on the surface of a substrate, which surface has been plasma treated, arc-discharge treated, or corona-discharge treated, to achieve a contact angle with pure water of 0 to 70.0 degrees, and the applied absorbent aqueous composition is measured for absorbance.
