Determination of Anti-Solar Activity of Hibiscus Hirtuslinn

Ultra-magnetic radiation released by the sun is often referred to as solar radiation, also known as the solar resource. Solar energy may be collected and transformed into usable energy sources like heat and electricity. Now a days along with useful rays, corrosive rays are also emitted by the sun. These corrosive rays' causes' skin damage, skin cancer, skin aging, and eye damage and also affects the immune system. To prevent these harmful effects, sunscreens are used. To prepare these sunscreens natural substances are used which are extracted from the medicinal plants. In this present study the Sun Protection Factor [SPF] values of ethyl acetate extract from Hibiscus hirtus L. at different wave lengths [290-310] were investigated by using UV visible spectrophotometer. Ethyl acetate extract of total plant of Hibiscus hirtus L. showed the maximum absorbance at 290nm and maximum Sun Protection Factor (SPF) value at 300nm. Our findings states total plant extract of Hibiscus hirtus L. possess antisolar property.
