Abstract This project focuses on developing an eco-friendly sunscreen by utilizing zinc oxide nanoparticles stabilized and coated with plant-derived extracts. The goal is to minimize environmental impact while ensuring effective UV protection. Emphasizing particle stability, safety, and biodegradability, the formulation aims to provide a sustainable and safer alternative to conventional chemical sunscreens without compromising on sun protection performance.
