Now a days personal care products containing ingredients from the plant origin are getting increasing trend in pharmaceuticals, because various synthetic agents have been used as photoprotectives but they have limited use as they cause potential toxicity in humans and involve in photo carcinogenesis. So herbal antioxidants and sunscreen work on photo aging and other skin disorders. The effectiveness of sunscreens is determined by Sun Protection Factor(SPF), which is supposed to indicate the level of protection from UV radiation. The present work was designed to study the effect of different soil treatments on the antioxidant activity and UV absorption of Helianthus annus and Coriandrum sativum. The Photo protective activity (SPF) of these herbs showed remarkable increase in soil treatments compared to control. The sunscreen cream was prepared using the herbs which showed highest SPF. Helianthus showed SPF of 23.63 under soil treated with Pongamia leaves and Coriandrum showed SPF of 39.77 under soil treated with Spirulina. A survey of the prepared cream was also done.
