Abstract

The increasing prevalence of tanning as a skincare concern, due to factors such as pollution, stress, UV radiation, and lifestyle, has prompted the need for the development of organic anti-tan formulations. The current study aims to synthesize an organic anti-tan substance and evaluate its various properties for both stability and effectiveness. It is well-known that the skin's natural defense mechanism against UV damage is the development of melanin, a dark brown pigment, to protect the skin from burning. Historically, plants have been utilized to meet the basic requirements for healthy and beautiful skin. However, conventional cosmetics often contain toxic ingredients that can lead to regenerative issues and increased growth hazards, with studies suggesting that the more products utilized, the higher the potential for harmful concentrations in the body. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid cosmetics altogether. However, if use is deemed necessary, the use of natural or organic cosmetics is suggested. This project aims to create and assess a polyherbal face and body pack for cosmetic use, utilizing only natural ingredients.
