Abstract

UV rays and relevant skin diseases are a major problem among the wide population. UV rays affect our skin harshly, mainly while traveling exposed to the sun. Overexposure to the sun is the primary cause of most skin cancers. Acute exposure to UV rays causes immediate skin discoloration. To unfold these issues, the contemplated work aims at reducing skin diseases and skin exposure to the rays, with natural oils incorporated in developed natural fibered fabric hand gloves for UV protection. The knitted bamboo and woven banana fabrics are used for a better wearing experience. Natural oils such as almond oil (Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis), Sesame oil (Sesamum indicum L.), Red raspberry oil (Rubus idaeus L.), and Lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus) for incorporated into the fabric. UPF testing, Anti-microbial tests, and Anti-bacterial tests are carried out. Keywords: Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis, Sesamum indicum L, Rubus idaeus L, Cymbopogon citratus, UV-rays, Bamboo knit, Banana fabric, Skin cancer, Natural oil, Hand Gloves.
