Objective: In recent years, plant extracts have been considered as potential sunscreen assets inferable from
their antioxidant activity just as ability to assimilate ultraviolet (UV) rays. The aim of the current work is to
examine the sun protection factor (SPF) activity of different extracts of Neolamarckia cadamba leaves. Chemical
- based sunscreens give protection against the sun's beams, specifically, UV radiation. Sometimes, exposure to
these synthetic compounds prompts hypersensitivities to the skin. The most ideal approach to shield skin from
chemical and photoallergies’ is to utilize plant-based creams and lotions.
Methods: Petroleum Ether, Alcohol and aqueous extracts of Neolamarckia cadamba leaves were tested for
their sun protection factor (SPF) using Mansur formula from 290 to 320 nm.
Results: The calculated values of SPF were fallen in the range of 1.168 – 3.568. Among the three extracts used
in this study, alcohol extract of Neolamarckia cadamba showed highest SPF activity than the other two extracts.
This might be the result of pro-oxidant than antioxidant action of these compounds.
Conclusions: This finding suggests that the extracts can be considered to create photoprotective formulation
in different combinations and proportions, which will provide an additive or synergetic effect.
