Amount of Sun Protection Factor shows how many times the subject skin protection can be multiplied under the sun rays without erythema occurs. Kalakai contains some bio-active substance like phenol, flavonoid, alkaloid and terpenoid family which are proven as a very effective antioxidant. The purpose of this research was to determine the concentration of ethanol extract of kalakai root which has the potential as a sunscreen based on the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) parameter. Determination of SPF amount was carried out in vitro by UV-VIS spectrophotometer at a concentration of 50 ppm, 100 ppm, 150 ppm, 200 ppm, 250 ppm, 300 ppm, and 350 ppm with a wavelength of 290-320 nm. The result showed that kalakai root ethanol extract indicated potential as a sunscreen at a concentration of 300 ppm and 350 ppm obtained SPF values respectively 11 and 14 classified as sunscreens with extreme ability levels.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Jurnal Surya Medika (JSM)}, author={Adawiyah, Rabiatul}, year={2019}, month={Feb.}, pages={26–31} }
