ABSTRACT:
This study presents the formulation and evaluation of a herbal lipstick incorporating natural coloring agents Bixa Orellana (annatto) and Beta vulgaris (beetroot). The primary objective was to create a lipstick that combines aesthetic appeal with functional benefits, using natural ingredients to ensure safety and environmental sustainability. In General the lipsticks use the colour extracted from Cochinea insects and it can be considered as animal harm and not skin friendly. The formulation process involved the careful selection of waxes, oils, and pigments to achieve the desired texture, color, and stability. The resultant lipstick was subjected to a series of rigorous evaluations to ensure quality and performance. Primarily, the pH test was conducted to ensure the lipstick's compatibility with the natural pH of the skin, resulting in an optimal pH level that avoids skin irritation. The melting point test confirmed the product's stability across various temperature ranges, ensuring that it remains solid in typical environmental conditions. The force of application test measured the pressure required to apply the lipstick smoothly, indicating a user-friendly formulation. Microbiological testing was performed to ensure the product is free from harmful microorganisms, confirming its safety for consumer use. Additionally, a skin irritation test was conducted with human volunteers, demonstrating that the lipstick does not cause adverse skin reactions. The oil rancidity test was performed to assess the stability of the oils used in the formulation, ensuring that the product remains fresh and effective over time without developing off-odors. All tests yielded results within the acceptable reference ranges, validating the formulation's success. This study contributes to the development of safe, natural cosmetic products, offering a sustainable alternative to conventional lipsticks that often contain synthetic ingredients.
