Cream was prepared in three formulas with various concentration<br>of the green tea leaves extract. The physical evaluations included organoleptic, pH, viscosity, adhesion, spreadability, and stability tests were<br>done. The determination of the SPF value is calculated using the Mansur equation. Extract of green tea leaf has strong antioxidant activity<br>(IC50 2.19 μg/ml).<br><strong>Results</strong>: The green tea leaf extract showed high antioxidant activity (2.19 μg/m). All formulas are organoleptically creamy brownish-green to brown,<br>with a distinctive green tea odor and homogeneous. All formulas met the requirements of physical properties of cream. The creams showed significant<br>change while they were stored at 4°C and at 40±2°C, but showed no difference when they were stored ad 26°C. SPF values of cream are 0.54; 2.03,<br>and 2.41, respectively.<br><strong>Conclusions</strong>: It is clearly indicated that the sunscreen cream of green tea leaf extract is potential to be further developed as cosmetic preparations.</p> ER -
