Abstract

Ultraviolet (UV) ray is a causative agent of sunburn, photoaging, and eventually skin cancer. Sunscreen was used for protection the harmful from a UV. Chemical sunscreen can stimulate an allergic reaction. Physical sunscreen was less stimulated an allergic reaction. Plant was interesting for apply to a component of physical sunscreen. Centella asiatica is a herbaceous, perennial plant in the flowering plant family Apiaceae. Madecassoside is an active ingredient form Centella asiatica extract, has an anti-redness and anti-scaling effect, reduced an effect on inflammation, and stimulated the production of collagen. The objective of this experimental research is to develop a water in oil emulsion physical sunscreen formula with 1% w/w Madecassoside. The UV protection efficiency and physical, chemical, biological stability were studied after storing in real conditions for 6 months. The study results showed three formulas with a good appearance., There were broad spectrum sunscreen protection, with critical wavelength 372.8±0.27, 375.5±0.34 and 377.5±0.46, respectively and have a good level UV-A protection with boots star rating 3 (good), UVA I / UV ratio 0.73 (high). An efficacy of UV-B protection was more than 93.3% (SPF > 15). SPF were show 16.5 ± 1.3, 23.4 ± 1.1, 42.19 ± 1.7, respectively. The first formula has a significant increased density (P <0.05)., The second formula has a significant higher pH than the limited range between 4.0-6.5. The chemical stability of Madecassoside by HPLC revealed an increased stationarity in the first formula, a decreased constancy in the second formula (p<0.5), and did not significant different stability in the third formula (p>0.5). There shown a significant biological stability with microbe tested in all three formulas. In conclusion, the third formula physical sunscreen with Centella asiatica extract, is a good effective against UV-A and UV-B rays and an unchanged physical chemical and biological stability in a real-conditions for 6 months., This formula is an appropriate for applied in a physical sunscreen in the future.
