ABSTRACT

An antioxidant found in Solanum lycoperscium and Camellia sinensis can protect from ultraviolet (UV) exposure in sunlight and shield skin from UVB-induced photodamage. This research carried out to create a Solanum lycoperscium extract and Camellia sinensis extract-based sunscreen cream subjected to phytochemical screening and measurements of sun protection factor (SPF) values. Centrifugation was used as a qualitative test for the cream preparation in comparison to the extract, and observations of antibacterial activity, physical properties, pH, saponification value, acid value, SPF value and stability of the cream formulation were evaluated. Sunscreen creams having different compositions with Solanum Lycopersicon, Camellia sinensis and Cucumis sativus extract contain SPF values in promising range of 20 - 25. The cream has antibacterial properties due to the addition of steric acid, which acts as a preservative. Keywords: Solanum lycopersicum; Camellia sinensis; Curcuma longa, Sun Protection Factor (SPF)
