This type of research is quantitative. The samples used were keji beling and kelor leaf extracts. The extraction method is maceration with 96% ethanol solvent. Testing the SPF value using the spectrophotometric method with a wavelength of 290-320 nm with an increase of 5 nm intervals. The results of this study showed that the best nanoemulgel value was found in formula 1 (F1) 5% of 42.17. The SPF value with a concentration of 3% is 12.19 (maximum protection category), 4% is 15.46 (ultra category), and 5% is 11.33 (maximum category).
