Skin that is exposed to chronic ultraviolet light can cause changes in the structure and composition of the skin epidermal skin tissue, unable to fght the oxidative efects. The efects can occur in acute changes such as erythema, photosensitivity, and long-term efects such as premature aging and skin cancer. [1] Not all ultraviolet light can damage human skin tissue, depending on the range of wavelengths and energy waves that are exposed so that damage will occur gradually. The spectrum of UV light is divided into three, namely UV C (200-290nm), UV B (290-320 nm), and UVA (320-400 nm). To prevent the sun exposure, protection is needed: it can be physical, for example, using an umbrella, hat, or jacket while chemical protection using appropriate sunscreen cosmetics. The mechanism of sunscreen protection as a physical blocker by blocking ultra-violet (UV) rays from penetrating the skin layer by scattering light. Sunscreen is very efective in protecting the skin from exposure to UV-A and UV-B rays. [2] ABSTRACT Efect of exposure ultraviolet light, which is bad for human skin, results in sunburn, dryness, premature aging until skin cancer occurs. Shooting gel is a cosmetic product that is just a trend in the community, containing active ingredients with high concentrations, making it suitable for use as a sunscreen. Previous studies of jamblang have antioxidant activity. The purpose of this study is to obtain a stable, optimum formula for shooting jamblang fruit gel by determining the SPF value and measuring the irritation index. Shooting jamblang fruit gel made four concentrations (60, 70, 80, and 90%) and evaluated physical characteristics, determination of SPF values, and stability test. The data obtained were analyzed with a diferent 95% confdence level test to fnd out a signifcant diference between the treatment groups. The results of the research of positive jamblang fruit contain favonoid compounds, phenolic, polyphenols, tannins, anthocyanins, and saponins. Evaluation of physical characteristics shows that variations in concentration do not afect viscosity (p > 0.05) but afect pH, dispersion, and adhesion (p < 0.05). SPF FI value of 5.46 (Medium); FII of 11.45 (maximum); FIII of 8.51 (maximum); FIV of 34.73 (Ultra). The Greater the concentration, the greater the SPF value. Stability Shooting jamblang fruit gel almost all formulas there were no signifcant diferences (p > 0.05) on the evaluation of viscosity, adhesion, and dispersion. At pH, there were signifcant diferences in all formulas (p < 0.05). Keywords: Physical stability, Shooting gel, SPF, Sunscreen, Syzgium cumini extract. Indian J. Pharm. Biol. Res.

Received: 02/03/2020 Revised: 25/04/2020 Accepted: 03/05/2020 Published: 30/06/2020 The content of UV rays in the sun is one source of free radicals that can damage cell components. Antioxidants are compounds that can neutralize reactive free radicals into a relatively stable non-reactive form that can protect cells from the harmful efects of free radicals. Antioxidants can be obtained from natural ingredients of fruits and plants, one of which is jamblang. In Indonesia, the jamblang tree is one of the rare plants that have many benefts. The jamblang fruit is one part of the jamblang plant that is suspected to
