dc.description.abstract	This study was conducted to evaluate the in vitro Ultra-Violet(UV) filtering and anti-tyrosinase potential in several medicinal plants. The methanolic extract of Tagetes erecta has displayed a sun protection factor (SPF) of 40 and was found to be photostable. Furthermore, an extreamly potent tyrosinase inhibition (IC50 = 48.27 µg/mL) as well as antioxidant activity (EC50 = 14.82 µg/mL) were observed for the same extract revealing the high potential for the development of herbal cosmetics.	en_US
