| Resumo : | Exposure to solar radiation, particularly its ultraviolet (UV) component, has a variety of harmful effects on human health. Some ofthese effects include sunburn cell formations, basal and squamous cell cancers, melanoma, cataracts, photoaging of the skin, andimmune suppression. The beneficial photoprotective effects of topical formulations with the extract, Morinda citrifolia, have notbeen investigated. This present study aims to investigate the potential benefits of M. citrifolia topical application on the dorsal skinof mice, exposed to UVA-UVB light. Using 7 days of treatment, [before (baseline values) and 20 h after UV exposure], the thickness,skin barrier damage (TEWL), erythema, and histological alterations were evaluated. The results showed that the formulationscontaining the extract protected the skin against UV-induced damage. |
