DEVELOPING A POMEGRANATE-INFUSED SUNSCREEN FORMULA FOR ENHANCED SKIN DEFENSE

Abstract

Researchers have developed an effective sunscreen utilizing pomegranate extract, with the objective of formulating a sunscreen capable of providing enhanced protection compared to conventional sunscreens. This study conducted essential testing to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed formulation. Various theories and studies related to the properties of pomegranate were carefully examined to support the development of the sunscreen. An experimental research method was employed to identify ingredients with beneficial properties for developing a pomegranate-infused sunscreen formula aimed at enhancing skin defense. Based on testing conducted on different skin types, the pomegranate-infused sunscreen demonstrated resistance to sweat, dust, and smoke. Furthermore, it provided protection against direct sunlight, indicating that the formulation is effective and safe for use on various skin types. The findings indicated that pomegranate extract (Punica granatum) has strong potential as a natural sunscreen ingredient. Through a series of tests, investigations, and analyses, pomegranate extract was shown to possess skin-protective properties that help preserve skin health. These properties are attributed to its natural components, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds, as well as vitamins and minerals that may help prevent sunburn. However, further research is necessary to fully understand the underlying mechanisms of action of pomegranate extract on the skin. Overall, this study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on protecting the skin from ultraviolet (UV) radiation and recommends additional research and field testing to validate the effectiveness of pomegranate extract as a natural sunscreen in practical applications.
