The study intends to get knowledge on pigmentation induced by visible light on Asian/Chinese skin type and darker skin type, and to evaluate and to compare with a non-treated control zone and between them, the efficacy of photoprotective effect of different products after visible light exposure, between \[400-700nm\], on these skin types compared to Caucasian for whom the investigators already got knowledge.
The main objective of this study is: \- To assess the ability of protective agents to prevent the pigmentation under visible light exposures (VL) in healthy volunteers with different skin type (caucasian, asian and darker skin) by skin colorimetry (Delta E) and clinical evaluation. The secondary objectives are: * To assess the local tolerance and safety of the products under VL exposure by recording adverse events and safety * To assess the safety of the different Investigational Products.

Skin color measurement with ITA° angle
The device Chromameter® (non-invasive assessment) will be used to measure the skin color, between the exposed zone (ZE) and non-exposed zone (ZNE), through the ITA° angle calculation, using formula \[Arc Tangent ((L\* - 50) / b\*)\] 180 / p. The L\* defines the perceptual lightness from black at 0 to white at 100. The b\* represents the blue-yellow opponents, with negative numbers toward blue and positive toward yellow.
Time frame: From enrollment at Day 1 to the end of study at Day 12
Skin pigmentation contrast
The device Chromameter® (non-invasive assessment) will be used to measure the skin contrast, between the exposed zone (ZE) and non-exposed zone (ZNE), through the Delta E calculation, using formula √ (ΔL\*2+Δa\*2+Δb\*2)). The L\* defines the perceptual lightness from black at 0 to white at 100. The a\* axis is relative to the green-red opponent colors, with negative values toward green and positive values toward red. The b\* represents the blue-yellow opponents, with negative numbers toward blue and positive toward yellow.
Time frame: From enrollment at Day 1 to the end of study at Day 12
Visual scoring of pigmentation
A trained investigator will visually score the skin pigmentation, using L'Oreal pigmentation scale : 0 Absence 1. Barely visible 2. Very pale brown - 3. Very pale brown 4. Very pale brown + 5. Pale brown - 6. Pale brown 7. Pale brown + 8. Brown - 9. Brown 10. Brown + 11. Pronounced brown - 12. Pronounced brown 13. Pronounced brown +
Time frame: From enrollment at Day 1 to the end of study at Day 12
Visual scoring of erythema
A trained investigator will visually score the skin erythema, using L'Oreal erythema scale : 0 Absence 1. Barely visible 2. Very pale pink - 3. Very pale pink 4. Very pale pink + 5. Pale pink - 6. Pale pink 7. Pale pink + 8. Pink - 9. Pink 10. Pink + 11. Pronounced pink - 12. Pronounced pink 13. Pronounced pink +
