As diseases caused by solar radiation have gained great prominence, several methods to prevent them have been developed. Among the most common, the use of sunscreens is customary and accessible. The application of theoretical methods has helped to design new compounds with therapeutic and protective functions. Natural compounds with described photoprotective potential properties (3-O-methylquercetin, gallic acid, aloin, catechin, quercetin, and resveratrol) were selected to perform theoretical studies. Computational methods were applied to predict their absorption spectra, using DFT and TD-DFT methods with functional B3LYP/6−311+g(d,p) basis sets and methanol (IEFPCM) as a solvent. The main electronic transitions of the compounds were evaluated by observing whether the differences in HOMO and LUMO energies that absorb in the UV range are UVA (320–400 nm), UVB (290–320 nm), or UVC (100–290 nm). Experimental validation was carried out for EMC, quercetin, and resveratrol, demonstrating the consistency of the computational method. Results obtained suggest that resveratrol is a candidate for use in sunscreens. The study provided relevant information about the in silico predictive power of natural molecules with the potential for use as photoprotective adjuvants, which may result in fewer time and resource expenditures in the search for photoprotective compounds.
