A herbal sunscreen formulation by incorporation of fenugreek seeds and bael leaf extract with high SPF, sufficient water resistance and desirable pH is developed and investigated. The formulations of sunscreens play a role in prevention of UV radiations that can harm the skin. We explore applications of green ingredients which include fenugreek seeds and bael leaves having sun protection activity. Extraction of active ingredients in the seed Fenugreek ( Trigonella foenum-graecum ) and Bael ( Aegle marmelos ) leaves was then used to prepare cream base of sunscreen and integrated in a vehicle. The cream on the sun had a great amount of SPF (39.902), which showed that it had a high UV radiation block. The pH of this formula was 6.72, and is quite superb in the application of the products to the skin. The observations indicate that the use of fenugreek and bael leaf sunscreen can be a promising natural sun screen action as opposed to the chemical sunscreens.
