    7. Participant who is in good general health and free of any disease state or physical condition except sunburn that might impair the clinical evaluation of erythema, pain and pruritus associated with sunburn.
    8. Participant who confirms not having used sunscreen or any other lotion on the zone of investigation before the acquired sunburn and inclusion in the study.
    9. Participant who agrees not to expose themself further to the sun and not to apply any topical product (sunscreen, aftersun products, products containing aloe vera, moisturizing products...) on the zone of investigation within 18 hours before sunburn and during the study.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Self reported pain score on Pain Numeric Scale (NRS) at each visitTwice a day (in the morning and at night) from day 1 to day 5

To measure the efficacy of SP160412 in the reduction of pain as reported by the participants. The Brief Pain Inventory - short version assesses pain in the last 24 hours and its impact on daily functioning. It evaluates the worst, the least, the average pain the participants felt during the last day and the actual pain. Scores range from 0 ("no pain") to 10 ("pain as bad as you can imagine"). BPI also evaluates the degree to which pain has interfered with different areas of participants' lives over the past 24 hours: general activity, walking, work, mood, enjoyment of life, relations with others and sleep. BPI pain interference is scored as the mean of the seven interference items, each of which is scored from zero ("does not interfere") to 10 ("completely interferes"). Finally, BPI also evaluates the amount of relief of pain treatments have provided in the past 24 hours, ranging from 0% ("no relief") to 100% ("complete relief").

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To measure the efficacy SP160412 combined with a placebo in the reduction of clinical sign of sunburnTwice a Day (in the morning and at night) from day 1 to day 5

To measure the efficacy of SP160412 on Pruritus. 11-point Itch NRS (Appendix I.3. Pruritus Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)); This instrument is presented as a single 11-point numeric scale with scores from 0 to 10, and anchored at 0 representing "No itch" and 10 representing "Worst imaginable itch"

To measure the efficacy of SP160412 for sleep qualityonce a day in the morning from day 1 to 5

To measure the Sleep quality Scale using The 11-point(NRS)) is an unidimensional patient reported outcome (PRO) for quality of sleep. Participants will on a 11-point numeric rating scale ranging from 0 for "Best possible sleep" to 10 for "Worst possible sleep". Used on a daily basis, sleep diaries are reliable and valid instruments for capturing patient reported outcomes. The sleep quality NRS has good psychometric properties.single-item sleep quality NRS was correlated with pain.

To evaluate the number of subject with adverse eventsonce a day from Days 2 to 8

To evaluate the Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v4.0, Change From Baseline in Pain Scores on the Visual Analog Scale at evaluate the safety of SP160412 relative to each component alone combined with a placebo based on the incidence of treatment emergent Adverse Events will be recorded in the daily log by the participant and it will be documented at all evaluation visits. Overall incidence of adverse events will be collected for all days of evaluation, from Visit 0 (Day 0) to Visit 6 (Day 8).

Measurement of the evolution of erythema as measured by the Chromameterat day one and visit at day 5

To measure the evolution of erythema color by the use of a Chromameter
