Pembuatan dan Evaluasi Senyawa Filter UV dalam Produk Tabir Surya

Abstrak

This study intends to synthesise novel UV filter chemicals and assess their activity in sunscreen products. The UV filter molecules were synthesised using an esterification process between cinnamic acid and benzyl alcohol. The resultant compounds were then evaluated for their efficacy in absorbing UV radiation using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The results showed that the chemical was effectively synthesised with a yield of 75% and had a maximum absorption spectrum at 310 nm, suggesting its potential to absorb UVB radiation. Tests of protection activities revealed that sunscreen products containing this chemical successfully shielded the skin from UV ray damage. This study concluded that the synthesised UV filter component can be utilized in effective and safe sunscreen formulations.
