Potential Of Krameria Triandra In Skin Protection From Ultraviolet Radiation

Abstract

Krameria triandra (Rhatany) is a medicinal plant known for its rich composition of bioactive 
compounds, particularly tannins and flavonoids, which contribute to its strong antioxidant and antiinflammatory properties. Recent studies suggest that these properties could make Krameria triandra 
an effective natural agent for skin protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This article provides 
a comprehensive review of the photoprotective potential of Krameria triandra, exploring its 
phytochemistry, mechanisms of action, in vitro and in vivo evidence, formulation challenges, and 
commercial potential in skincare. With growing concerns over the safety and environmental impact 
of synthetic sunscreens, Krameria triandra emerges as a promising alternative for natural 
photoprotection
