<![CDATA[Sunscreen can protect the skin from ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The inorganic active ingredients in sunscreens can have detrimental effects on the skin. Wungu leaf (Graptophylum pictum (L.) Griff) is a suitable alternative due to its antioxidant activity and similar mechanism of action to other antioxidants with lower side effects. This study employed a true experimental method, and the data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and T-tests. The effectiveness of sunscreen is determined by the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) value. This study aims to determine the SPF value and physical stability of Wungu leaf extract spray sunscreen at concentrations of 500 ppm, 1,000 ppm, and 1,500 ppm. The results show that the spray sunscreens provide ultra-protection. The difference in extract concentration significantly affected the SPF value (p0.05). Stability tests showed a negligible effect on color variation and a notable effect on pH and spray diameter. Despite its noticeable impact, the outcome remains within an acceptable range. The study concluded that the Wungu leaf extract spray sunscreen provides excellent photoprotection, as demonstrated by the high SPF values observed for Formula 1 (18.63), Formula 2 (23.87) and Formula 3 (29.56). In addition, the product exhibits robust physical stability, as assessed by relevant parameters.]]>
