They utilize plant-based compounds with photoprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties to protect the skin from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This review explores the sources, mechanisms, formulation strategies, efficacy, safety, and challenges associated with herbal sunscreens.
