Abstract

Sunscreen is a substance that protects the skin from UV radiation by absorbing, dispersing, and reflecting UV rays. The protection level provided by sunscreen can be measured using SPF (Sun Protection Factor), a higher SPF value indicates greater protection. The SPF value influenced by the antioxidant content of the active ingredients in the sunscreen formulation. Mareme leaves and Meniran herbs are known for their strong antioxidant properties. Method: The SPF values of Mareme leaf extract (Glochidion arborescens Blume.), Meniran herb extract (Phyllanthus niruri L.), and a combination of both extracts at a concentration of 600 ppm were tested Subsequently, the combined extracts were formulated in lotion, organoleptic testing, homogeneity testing, pH testing, and SPF testing Results: Mareme leaf and Meniran herb extract (in a ratio of 2:1) yielded an SPF value of 17.32, indicating ultra protection. Furthermore, the lotion containing the combination of Mareme leaf and Meniran herb extract (in a ratio of 2:1) had an SPF value of 2.55, indicating minimal protection. Evaluation of the lotion demonstrated compliance with requirements in terms of texture, color, odor, homogeneity, and pH.
