Sunscreen is a topical substance which helps in protecting the skin from the ultraviolet radiations by reflecting or absorbing some of the sun’s rays. Herbal remedies offer fewer adverse effects and a higher level of safety. This project aims to formulate and evaluate herbal sunscreen lotions with anti-UV and anti-inflammatory characteristics. Screening agents have shown effective in lowering symptoms of skin cancer and photo-damage induced by UV exposure. Creams were made from plant extracts, including Theobroma cacao, Rubus idaeus, Aloe, Cocos Nucifera, Rosa Rubiginosa, Olea europaea. Rubus idaeus and Cocos Nucifera have high polyphenol and flavonoid content. Herbal sunscreen lotions were evaluated for organoleptic characteristics, pH, rancidity, spread ability, and drug content. Sun Protection Factor (SPF) was used to measure product effectiveness. These products demonstrated excellent spread ability, regularity, normality, admire, intended pH, easy for removing, and shows no indications of phase differentiation. Sunscreens need to be comfortable, chemically stable, gentle on the skin, non-hazardous, resistant to degradation from sunlight, and effective at shielding the skin from the sun damage. Sunscreen creams are great for mending, softening, and renewing the skin. Keywords - UV radiation, raspberry seed oil, skin cancer, sunburn, sun protection, SPF. INTRODUCTION A substance that protects the layers of skin against the harmful effects of the sun. Sunscreen guards the skin from UVA and UVB rays through reflection, absorption, and dispersing. Using sunscreen- containing lotions, creams, or gels can prevent premature skin ageing and damage, which can lead to skin cancer. Sun- block formulas should address sunburn, tan, skin cancer, and premature lines, folds and wrinkles, while also improving SPF. Sunscreen is commonly utilised to prevent the skin from and dangerous UV rays and minimize the incidence of skin problems. Sunscreens with a wide range of spectrum have been studied to mitigate for a long-time consequence of intense ultraviolet exposure. Sunscreens use as a photo protectant had changed dramatically in recent decades. As people become more aware of sunscreen’s benefits for preventing sun damage, skin ageing, and cancer, the need for sunscreen formulas will rise. Pharmaceutical industries can meet the demand by producing high-standard, effective, secure, and visually attractive sunscreens. Sunscreen lotion defends against damaging the sun’s UV radiations, which has been classified in
