ABSTRACT

The safety and dependability of natural products have prompted the production of herbal-based products. Herbal cosmetics are gaining popular among today's women. Synthetic colouring compounds used in cosmetics have been discovered to have carcinogenic properties. The current study aimed to create and evaluate herbal lipsticks utilising natural colourants such as carrot, beets, turmeric, tomatoes, pomegranate, and cocoa. Herbal lipstick was made using a variety of natural materials including beeswax, carnauba wax, vanilla essence, castor oil, white soft paraffin, strawberry essence, vitamin E, and lemon juice. The prepared herbal lipstick was tested for colour, texture, pH, melting point, breaking point, surface anomalies, ageing, and perfume stability.
