Abstract:

The present study was designed to study the sunscreen activity of herbal formulation. There is no evidence regarding the sun protection factor studies on essential oil of Curry leaf oil (Murraya koenigii L. Spring., Rutaceae). This study investigates its in vitro sun protection factor (SPF) by COLIPA method of Curry leaf oil in a cream formulation. The sun protection factor were analysed by using Optometrics LLC, SPF- 290S is a recording ultraviolet – visible (UVVIS) spectrophotometer using samples exposed to Xenon arc lamp. The sun protection factor of Curry leaf oil cream exhibited less activity (SPF= 2.04±0.02) suggesting it can be used to maintain the natural pigmentation of the skin or can be used as an adjuent in other formulations to enhance the activity.

Key Words: Essential oil, Murraya koenigii, Curry leaf oil formulation, Sun Protection Factor, UV.

Abbreviations: UV: Ultraviolet, 290-400 nm; UV-B, 280-320 nm; UV-A, 320-400 nm; BED, Biologically Efficient Dose; MED, Minimal Erythemal Dose; SPF: Sun Protection Factor.
