Formulation and evaluation of beetroot lipbalm

Abstract – Beetroot lip balm is a natural cosmetic formulation developed to provide moisturization, nourishment, and a subtle tint to the lips using plant-based ingredients. The key active component, Beta vulgaris (beetroot) extract, is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and natural pigments, making it an ideal agent for enhancing lip colour while promoting lip health. This study/formulation explores the incorporation of beetroot extract into a lip balm base composed such as beeswax, White soft Paraffin , Castor oil , Vitamin E. The final product aims to address common issues like lip dryness, cracking, and dullness while offering a chemical-free alternative to synthetic lip products. Evaluation criteria included texture, spreadability, stability, and user satisfaction. Results indicated that the beetroot lip balm delivers effective hydration and imparts a natural rosy tint, making it a functional and appealing product for regular use.
