Formulation and Evaluation of Herbal Lipstick Using Beta Vulgaris and Punica Granatum Extract

Abstract

The lipstick gives an attractive color, shiny appearance to the lips,
accentuating the positive point and distinguishing the defects. It also
prevents the formation of cracks on the lips which lead to bacterial
infections. It also provides an emollient action on the lips. The lipstick is
mainly composed of an oil wax base, rigid enough to form a stick with a
dye dissolved or dispersed in the oil and the pigment correctly suspended
there and flavoured, modelled and enclosed in a box. The herbal word is
a safety symbol in contrast to a synthetic one that has negative impact on
human health. Herbal preparations such as herbal tonic, herbal tablets,
herbal creams, herbal paste, herbal lipstick & herbal shampoos, etc., have
become more famous among consumer medicinal herbs which represent
the segment in faster growth to treat various ailments.
Due to the various adverse effects of the synthetic preparations available, the present study was conducted
for the formulation of herbal lipstick. The objective of this work is to formulate and evaluate herbal
lipstick from beet root and pomegranate as natural coloring pigments and to minimize the side effects of
synthetic formulations. The goal of this work is to extract the colored pigments from the main root Beta
Vulgaris and Punica Granatum, optimize the formula to prepare the lipstick and evaluate the prepared
formulations.
