Description
Summary:Skin cancer had become one of the most occurring type of cancer all around the world. The needs for alternative additional substance in sunscreen, especially from natural ingredients become important. Seaweed is one of marine natural resource known for its many benefits and widely used in cosmetic industries. The purpose of this research are to determine the photoprotective activity of Eucheuma sp. extract obtained from different type of solvents against ultraviolet radiation and its effect. Eucheuma sp. extracted by maceration using two different solvents (methanol and ethyl acetate). Filtrate obtained from maceration evaporated until the consistency are pasta-shaped and tested using spectrophotometer to determine the SPF, % of Te, and % Tp. The result of spectrophotometer tests evaluated and analyzed to determine which solvent generate the best value of SPF, % of Te, and % of Tp. The result of this this research showed that the highest SPF value are present in ethyl acetate extract (SPF 26.4). The best value of Te and Tp percentage are also present in the ethyl acetate extract with their respective values: 0.88% and 18.64%. The conclusion of this research are Eucheuma sp. extract had a good potential of photoprotective activity.
