Abstract:
The aim of the research is to enhance the performance of sunscreen cream with natural additives (Bee wax, Lanolin, Sandal wood extract) because these materials are safe on the skin, non-toxic, and do not have side effects on the skin. Sunscreen cream has been tested by physical, chemical and biological tests. The results are explained that the prepared sunscreen samples showed the absence of irritation and redness and better than commercial sunscreen in transmission, anti-bacterial, Ph and SPF tests and Convergent values in FTIR and physical test.
After the discussion committee recorded its observations on the thesis, which were divided between explanation, correction, and the student’s defense of her thesis
At the end of the discussion, the committee settled to evaluate the thesis and decided to award the student a master’s degree with a pass grade.
