Abstract

These days, herbal lipsticks are getting more and more popular because natural cosmetics are easy for women to apply and safe. Artificial coloring compounds have been shown to be carcinogenic and to trigger allergic reactions. Our research aims to create and assess herbal lipstick by employing edible, natural coloring agents like beetroot and watermelon. Using a variety of organic substances, including wax, butter, coconut oil, olive oil, castor oil, vanilla, rose essence, and lemon juice, bees were employed to produce herbal lipsticks. Herbal lipsticks were assessed and contrasted with the industry standard formulation in various tests, including surface irregularities, aging, pH, colour, texture, Perfume, liquid point, softening point, and breaking point durability.
