Assessment of Efficacy and Safety of Newly Formulated Natural Sun Protective Cream
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 5
Abstract
This research aims to formulate and evaluate the photo protective activity of an cream containing oil in water emulsion with different natural oils in varying proportions. The formulation is evaluated for its physical, chemical, microbiological and organoleptic properties for 28 days. The formulation was stable, white preparation with no recognisable irritancy when tested. SPF was determined to be 59.7 that can give both UV A and UV B protection. Aerobic microbial count was within the limit and there was no presence of Pseudomonas and yeast cells in the formulation. The newly formulated sunscreen cream was proved to exhibit a number of promising properties and attributes that might open new opportunities for the development of more efficient, safe, and cost-effective skin-care products.
