ABSTRACT

Background: In the current paradigm, herbal remedies are more appropriate than synthetic ones due to their protection and less harmful impacts. The present research work has been undertaken with the aim to formulate and evaluate niosomal based herbal sunscreen spray. Materials and methods: Essential oils (carrot seed oil, blue berry seed oil) having good SPF. Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Mill. belonging to the family Asphodelaceae), Cholesterol, Tween80, Alcohol, Glycerine, Water. Niosomes were prepared by coacervation method. Results: It has been identified that carrot seed oil, blue berry seed oil have good SPFs. The combination of both the essential oils is having SPF higher than the individual formulations. 3 formulations are made F1, F2, F3. Carrot seed oil was incorporated as a UV protecting agent in F1 and SPF was found to be 27.78; blue berry seed oil was incorporated as UV protectant in F2 and SPF was found to be 21.65 and F3 is the combination of both carrot seed oil and blue berry seed oil where the SPF was found to be 28.90. Conclusion: Results have shown that F3 is having high SPF than F1 and F2. Thus it has high UV protection capacity.
