Abstract

Excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause degenerative skin diseases, such as skin cancer, white spots, redness, and sunburn. One way to protect the skin from UV exposure is by using sunscreen. This is especially important for children as it helps protect their skin from harmful sunlight. The Senduduk plant (Melastoma malabathricum L.) has antioxidant properties and can capture free radicals, thereby helping to prevent degenerative diseases. This plant is also easily found in the area surrounding SD Negeri 43/IV Kota Jambi. Therefore, the aim of this community service activity is to educate students at SD Negeri 43/IV Kota Jambi about the potential of senduduk leaves to be formulated into an infusion spray to protect the skin from sun exposure. The methods used were lectures and live demonstrations on how to make the sunscreen spray preparation. The results showed an increase in students' knowledge about sunscreen and how to make the senduduk leaf infusion spray. The implication of this activity is that children gain an early understanding of degenerative diseases, particularly those affecting the skin.
