Sunlight, despite its benefits, can pose a threat to the skin, which is natural protective barrier. Phototoxicity caused by overexposure, especially ultraviolet radiation (UVR), results in burns, accelerates photoaging, and causes skin cancer formation. Natural substances of plant origin, i.e., polyphenols, flavonoids, photosynthetic pigments, protect against effects radiation, acting not only as photoprotectors like filters but antioxidant anti-inflammatory remedies, alleviating photodamage skin. Plant-based formulations are gaining popularity an attractive alternative synthetic filters. Over past 20 years, large number studies have been published assess photoprotective products, primarily through their antioxidant, antimutagenic, anti-immunosuppressive activities.
