Abstract	1.ABSTRACT: Excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun has been linked to various skin disorders, including skin cancer, premature aging, and sunburn. The development of effective sunscreens is crucial to mitigate these risks. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the formulation and evaluation of sunscreens, focusing on the importance of UV protection, types of UV radiation, and the classification of sunscreens. The review discusses the various ingredients used in sunscreen formulations, including organic and inorganic UV filters, and their mechanisms of action. Additionally, it highlights the importance of evaluating sunscreens using standardized methods, including in vitro and in vivo tests, to ensure their efficacy and safety. The review also explores the challenges and limitations in sunscreen development, including the need for improved photostability, water resistance, and skin tolerance. This comprehensive review provides valuable insights for researchers, formulators, and manufacturers working towards the development of effective and safe sunscreens.
