The textile protection of human skin against ultraviolet radiation is very important problem and over recentyears researches have shown increasing interests in this area. This research work deals with the causingharm effects of ultraviolet rays and protection against them through the woven materials by using Opuntialittoralis herbal extract and Chitosan biopolymer extract with nano encapsulation method. Finishing of fabricwith an eco friendly manner is getting very advanced nowadays. So, this research work is fully based onecofriendly and skin friendly. The samples were imparted with herb and biopolymer nanocapsules whichshowed best results for ultraviolet protection even after 30 washes.The finished sample was analyzed for itsmorphology using FESEM and FT-IR.
