        abstract = {Herbal sunscreen is a topical formulation prepared using natural plant-based ingredients possessing UV-absorbing, antioxidant, and skin-protective properties. This formulation is intended to protect the skin from harmful UVA and UVB radiation while minimizing the side effects associated with synthetic sunscreens. The study focuses on developing a herbal sunscreen containing ingredients such as aloe vera, turmeric, licorice, green tea, coconut oil, and carrot seed oil. The prepared formulation was evaluated for its consistency, spreadability, stability, and potential sun protection activity. Results indicated that herbal sunscreen can be an effective and safer alternative to chemical sunscreens.},
