Herbal beauty formulations are increasingly recognized for their safety, minimal side effects, and therapeutic advantages over synthetic cosmetics. Lip care products prepared from natural sources not only enhance appearance but also support lip health. This study focuses on the development and evaluation of a herbal lipstick incorporating naturally derived ingredients, including beetroot extract, rose, beeswax, and vitamin E. These components serve as natural colorants, moisturizers, antioxidants, and texturizing agents, contributing to both aesthetic appeal and protective functions. The prepared formulation underwent various physicochemical and stability assessments, including melting point determination, breaking strength, pH analysis, solubility testing, skin sensitivity evaluation, organoleptic inspection, and stability studies. The results showed favorable characteristics with acceptable texture, smooth application, stable fragrance, proper pH, and absence of irritation or microbial contamination. Overall, the herbal lipstick demonstrated promising performance comparable to commercial lip products while maintaining a natural ingredient profile. This study supports the growing preference for herbal cosmetic alternatives and highlights the potential for developing safe, eco-friendly, and consumer-friendly lip care solutions using natural resources.
