Abstract

Suruhan plants are traditionally often used by Kalimantan people as cold powder . This plant contains secondary metabolites flavonoids, alkaloids, and phenolics that have high antioxidant activity. Suruhan extract as active ingredient chosen Because its potential as a sunscreen, this research aims for know the activity of nanoemulsion with suruhan extract as a sunscreen by resulting of SPF value . manufacturing process use low energy nanoemulsion method. With the constituent ingredient of Tween 80, Propylene glycol , VCO, Phenoxyethanol, and Aquadest. From the optimization results the highest % transmittance of the formula was 98.23% with a tween concentration of 11%. Test results of  SPF value is obtained that nanoemulsion suruhan extract have a activity as  a UV protection by category medium protection and high protection.
