Abstract

This study's objective was to formulate a topical photoprotective cream which is a chemical substance that shields you from sunburn-causing ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Creams were preparing as emulation of immiscible liquids (Two phases system) ,oil phase and aqueous phase in order to produce (oil in water (O/W) ) emulsion or cream . In both phases we used natural materials such as Almond oil, Coconut oil, and Aloe vera gel. Then evaluate the formulas by using a set of tests such as visual test (Color and odor), chemical test (PH), physical test (Viscosity and spreadibility), and optical test used to measure sun protective factor (SPF). Formula F4 was the best one because it has good physicochemical properties as appearance, homogeneity, ease of removal because of o/w cream, no phase separation, desired PH and spreadability, viscosity, and the highest SPF value (36.85). Our formulation considered to be effective natural sun protective product for routine daily used‎.
