Abstract
The present study was designed to study sunscreen and anti-oxidant activity of herbal gel formulations. Ocimum sanctum (O. tenuiflorum; Family – Lamiaceae [Labiatae]) is one of the well-known drugs for its therapeutic values in traditional medicine. In the present study the drug was screened for its cosmetic use. All the three formulations containing aqueous, hydro-alcoholic as well as flavonoid extract showed sunscreen as well as anti-oxidant activity. The sunscreen activities of gel formulations could be related to the free radical scavenging properties of polyphenol compounds in the extracts incorporated in it.
