The aim of the study was to assess the sun-protection activity of the selected plant
extracts. Comparison of radiation protection activity was made for the following
plant extracts: green tea (Camellia Sinensis Extract), Chinese lemon fruit (Schizandra
Chinensis Fruit Extract), sea buckthorn fruit (Hippophae Rhamnoides Extract), root of
the Baikal thyroid (Scutellaria baicalensis root extract), bark of common buckthorn
(Frangulae cortex Extract), elderberry (Sambucus Nigra Extract), sand elm (Heli-
chrysum Stoechas Extract), angelica root (Radix Angelica sinensis Extract), Arnica
Montana Extract and horsetail herb (Equisetum Arvense Extract). The assessment of
sun-protection properties was made by measuring the spectra of the tested samples
by spectrophotometry in the UV light range. In addition, antioxidant properties were
measured using the DPPH method for the tested extracts, and the total polyphenol
content was determined. Green tea and buckthorn bark extracts have been shown to
be richest in polyphenolic compounds, while the lowest concentration of polyphe-
nols was characteristic for sea buckthorn fruit. The highest ability to scavenge free
radicals was found in extracts from green tea, Chinese lemon fruit, Baikal thyroid
root and common buckthorn bark. Sea buckthorn fruit extract showed the weakest
activity. Green tea and common buckthorn extracts also absorbed UV light the
most efficiently. The erefore, these extracts have a high potential for use in skincare
preparations with a radiation e{ect, as well as protecting against free radicals.
