Abstract

The objective of the investigation is evaluating the photoprotective activity of the alcoholic and glycolic extracts of the potato peel (Solanum tuberosum L.) Superchola variety through in vitro tests (sun protection factor measurement, quantification of phenolic compounds, determination of antioxidant capacity) to use it in the preparation of a sunscreen. Due to the best performance in laboratory tests, the alcoholic extract was used as an input in the sunscreen formulation.
