ABSTRACT

The sunlight which stimulates melanin the pigment that acts as the skin natural sunscreen. But excessive radiations of sunrays are unprotected and leading to painful sunburn or other skin related complication. The aim of this work was to evaluate UV absorption ability of Plumeria frangipani in view of a possible application as maceration process and method was performed by UV visible Spectrophotometry in range of 200-400 nm for this plant. The finalize result of extract was reported as maximum absorbance at 326 nm while the moderate absorbance at 260- 360 nm.

Keywords: Plumeria frangipani, Anti-solar, Spectroscopy.
