ABSTRACT

Natural compounds are frequently used as skin protectors, especially in topical antioxidant applications, suggesting that they may be able to lessen the appearance of aging on the skin. Consumer perceptions of cosmetics' value are significantly influenced by their tactile feel. The long-term benefits of regular sunscreen use on healthy skin, including skin barrier function, sun protection, a lower chance of developing skin cancer, skin hydration, and irritation, are the main topic of this study. Through the use of a biological test for bacteria, the study investigated the relationship between the organisms' antibacterial activity and the pH levels of creams. The findings indicate that because the pH values of the three formulations range from 4.0 to 8.0, they can be employed as skin-protective compositions. The study aims to create a novel sunscreen cream formulation with lemon juice, flax seed extract, and green tea extract and evaluate how well it works to improve the texture, sun ray protection [UVA & UVB], and hydration of the skin by carefully optimizing the formulation and carefully analyzing its stability, physicochemical qualities, and skin compatibility. Keywords: Herbal sunscreen, SPF, anti-aging properties, anti-oxidant, anti-microbial, UV Spectrophotometry
