Abstract: Expose to sunlight causes various biological responses ranging from sun-burn, erythema to skin cancer. Synthetic sunscreen formulations are readily available in market but are expensive and includes a wide range of adverse effects. Therefore, formulation of the herbal sunscreen formulation and evaluation of its sun protection activity is an important aspect in the cosmetic industry. There are various naturally available herbal agents which contain significant sunscreen properties which may be useful for formulating herbal sunscreen creams and lotions. So, evaluation of its sun protection activity is an important aspect in the cosmetic industry. The comparative values of the calculated SPF of eleven natural resources were evaluated using mansur equation. Hydroalcoholic and water herbal extraction was carried out and absorbances were recorded between 290-320nm using UV-VIS spectrophotometer. It was observed that all the tested herbal extracts showed some uv protection capabilities with water and hydroalcoholic extract.
