Formulation And Evaluation of Herbal Lipstick from Aqueous Extract of Bougainvillea Glabra

Currently, there is a rising trend in the use of herbal lipsticks, attributed to the safety and user-friendliness of natural cosmetics for women. Conversely, synthetic dyes have been linked to allergic reactions and have been identified as potentially carcinogenic. The purpose of this research was to create and evaluate a herbal lipstick formulated with natural color by using fresh pink flower of Bougainvillea Glabra. The formulation also included a variety of natural ingredients such as beeswax, coconut oil, vaseline, rose essences, vitamin E and C. The prepared herbal lipsticks were subjected to various evaluation tests, including assessments of color, texture, pH, melting point, breaking point, softening point, surface anomalies, aging, and fragrance stability. The results demonstrated that the evaluation parameters of the herbal lipsticks were consistent.
