Abstract

Concerns have been raised about the harmful effects of blue light (400–500 nm) from digital devices on skin health, including oxidative stress, early aging, inflammation, and hyperpigmentation. The creation and assessment of a herbal ointment intended to guard against skin damage caused by blue light is the main topic of this review. Antioxidant-rich natural plant extracts, especially those from Vitis vinifera (grape), Punica granatum (pomegranate), and Aloe vera, were chosen for their photoprotective properties. These plants are rich in bioactive components such flavonoids, polyphenols, tannins, and anthocyanins, which have potent anti-inflammatory, skinconditioning, and free radical scavenging qualities. The review focuses on phytochemical profiles, pharmacological actions, and their significance in reducing oxidative stress brought on by exposure to blue light.

Keywords: Blue light, Vitis vinifera, Antioxidant, Punica granatum, Aloe vera, early ageing, hyperpigmentation and inflammation.
