The objective of this study was to develop sunscreen cream formulations with high sun protection factor (SPF) and satisfied characteristics. The sun-and-skin interactions have controversial sides. The topical application of sunscreens (and the avoidance of extreme exposure to sun rays) is worldwide recognized as the best strategy to avoid sunburn and oedema. The sunscreen is prepared using water phase that includes distilled water as a main solvent, glycerine as a moisturizer, Arabic gum as a thickener, and citric acid as a preservative. The sunscreen lotions were prepared using three different compositions F1, F2 andF3 and evaluated for their stability, safety and SPF. Results showed that the sunscreen lotions were non-mutagenic, non-irritant, stable and possess SPF for normal skin. This review article sought to expound the scientific basis of sunscreen use, the classification, formulation, quality control and Evaluation.
