The aim of this work was to evaluate UV absorption ability of terminalia catappa Linn in view of a possible application as anti-solar agent. The ethanol extract was prepared by 90% ethanol with maceration process and method was performed by UV visible spectrophotometry in range of 200- 400 nm for this plants. Sunlight stimulates hormone protection, and it allows synthesis of vitamins D promotes skin cell regeneration and contributes to all overseen of well being of individual. The sunlight which also stimulates melanin and the pigment that acts as the skin natural sunscreen. But excessive radiations of sunrays are unprotected and leading to painful sunburn or other skin related complication. The finalize result of extract was reported as maximum absorbance at 200nm while good absorbance at 240nm to 300nm. The moderate absorbance at 300-360nm.
