Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find the most efficient concentration of rice water extract that may protect against UV rays, as well as to mix it into a herbal face pack preparation and measure its SPF value. The sun protection factor is calculated by UV spectrophotometer analysis, which is a laboratory test used to evaluate the efficiency of sunscreen compositions. The higher the SPF, the more protection a sunscreen provides against the UV light that causes sunburns. UV-B erythemogenic radiation at 295 nm was used to demonstrate in vitro photoprotective activity. The formulation was created in two batches, each using a distinct method of production. Both were assessed based on their pH, spreadability, organoleptic characteristics, stability, washability, and skin irritation. A face mask containing 2% rice water extract may provide UV protection with SPF values ranging from 0.43 to 2.237. Aside from that, each ingredient's pre-formulation was performed independently, and the flow properties were both good and passable.
