ABSTRACT

Many skin problems such as sunburn, pigmentation, ageing, skin cancer, dermatitis, wrinkles and immune suppressions are caused by the extreme exposure to the harmful sun radiations. We can use sunglasses, clothes and other material to cover our skin but this is not a proper way for the protection of our skin or body from the sun rays. For the prevention, sunscreen cream is widely used by the people. The sunscreen cream can be synthetic or natural. This cream is formulated and evaluated by appearance, colour, odour, viscosity, solubility, stability, rancidity, skin irritation test, in vitro evaluation by UV spectroscopy, and sun protection factor (SPF). The SPF is a kind of measure to know about the effectiveness of the product used in the skin for the prevention of the harmful effect of the ultraviolet radiation from the sun. It is important to apply the sunscreen regularly on the skin for continued effectiveness. Keywords: Sunscreen cream, SPF, UV Radiations
