The more benign skin cancers are seen commonly in those who spend much time outdoors. Sunscreens are cosmetic
formulations that block ultraviolet (UV) rays. Sunscreens are assigned sun protection factors, or sun protection factor (SPF),
ratings that are supposed to indicate the level of protection from UV radiation. In addition due to high cost and time consumption
of in vivo SPF determination methodologies, in vitro SPF determination is gaining more importance. The plantderived
natural products are reasonably effective and harmless. In the present study efforts were made to formulate sunscreen
cream using extracted Apium graveolens Linn. seed oil. Evaluation of same was done for sunscreen activity by using
in vitro SPF method. SPF of formulation was found to be 1.09 with ultra boot star rating 2 which approaches toward sunscreen
activity.
