Abstract
Sun Protection Factor or SPF is defined as the ratio between the amount of sunlight energy (UV-B) needed to cause minimal erythema on sun-protected skin with the amount of energy required to cause minimal erythema on the skin that is not protected by sunscreen. This study aims to determine the SPF value of the n-hexane fraction, the ethyl acetate fraction, methanol fraction, ethanol fraction, and butanol fraction from the Ficus benjamina Linn. fruits. SPF measurements can be done using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The result is the SPF value of n-hexane fraction is 4.935, the ethyl acetate fraction is 19.917, methanol fraction is 4.056, ethanol fraction is 8.342, and butanol fraction is 0,422. The ethyl acetate fraction of Ficus benjamina Linn. fruits has the highest SPF value, and it’s categorized as high-protection.
