Abstract	Degradation in environment such as global warming, water and air pollution, ozone layer depeletion etc. seems to affect health and skin of human beings causing severe damages to our skin therby giving rise to dryness and itchiness to our skin. Currently herbal sunscreens are used by almost 85% of people alive on the earth to protect their skin from UV-radiation, heat, premature aging etc. The concept of beauty and use of cosmetics is demanding from ancient time. Sunscreens also helps us to prevent our skin from cancer and sunburn caused by several medicines such as anthracene, benzophenone etc. It also prevents from itching, redness and dryness of skin. Herbal cosmetics are naturally produced and are far from harmful chemicals which otherwise may be toxic to our skin. Our aim and objective is to prepare herbal/organic sunscreen using natural and synthetic ingredients such as: lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus), coconut oil (Cocos nucifera), green tea extract, almond oil,aloe vera, rose water (Rosa rubiginosa), Vitamin E, glycerin, seed oil, zinc oxide, titanium dioxide etc. having high SPF, good anti-microbial, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory activities and more important for UVA/UVB protection. The credibility of the formulations will be found by calculating its SPF. Different formulations of sunscreen from F1 to F7 were evaluated for various parameters like pH, color, odor, spreadability, washability, non-irritancy test, consistency, viscosity, stability, physical appearance. The study of these parameters of formulated product will give us idea about which conformation of extract would be stable and hence safe. It can bring to an end that poly-organic cream without much side effect can be used as an action of providing barrier to avoid aging and protect the skin from harmful UV rays.
