Abstract
Sunscreen formulations play a crucial role in protecting the skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Recent advancements in nature and herbal ingredients have led to a surge of interest in formulation effective, eco-friendly sunscreens. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of herbal sunscreen formulations, specially focusing on Aloe barbadensis miller (Aloe vera), Cucumis sativus (Cucumber), and Solanum lycopersicum (Tomato) as key ingredients. Aloe vera, known for its soothing and hydrating properties, offers potential benefits enhancing the skin’s resilience against UV damage. Cucumis sativus contributes cooling and antioxidant effects, while Solanum lycopersicum provides substantial levels of lycopene, which is recognized for its photoprotective qualities. The review systematically examines the phytochemical profiles, extraction methods, and efficacy of these ingredients in sunscreen formulations. It also explores their synergistic effects when combined and evaluates their overall performance in terms of sun protection factor (SPF), stability, and skin compatibility. By synthesizing current research findings, this review aims to highlight the potential of these herbal components in developing effective, natural sunscreens and to provide insights for future research and formulation strategies in the field of dermatological protection.
