Lipstick is a cosmetic product used to apply coloration and texture to lips, with red being associated with sensuality and women's independence. Nowadays, herbal lipsticks are gaining popularity due to their safety and potential for allergic reactions. The history of lipstick dates back to ancient Sumerian and Indus Valley people using gemstones to decorate their faces, while Egyptians wore lipstick to show social status rather than gender. Chinese beeswax was used over 1,000 years ago to protect the delicate skin of the lips. In the 16th century, lip coloring gained popularity in England, with Elizabeth II's bright red lips and a stark white face becoming fashionable. In the 19th century, lipstick was colored with carmine dye, extracted from cochineal insects native to Mexico and Central America. By 1902, fashionable American women began to consider lipstick acceptable. Herbal ingredients for lipstick include beeswax, a natural substance obtained from bee hives, which contains vitamins A, B, C, and E, as well as a natural fragrance like vanillin. Beetroot extract is used as a coloring agent, providing hydrating and nourishing properties, making lips super soft and smooth, and eliminating pigmented ones. Oils like Castor Oil, Mineral Oil, Olive Oil, and Lanolin are added for smooth and moisturized lips.
Good lipstick should be non-irritant, provide long-lasting moisture, have a pleasant odor and taste, be non-toxic, and not cause allergic reactions. It should also be chemically and physically stable for a long period of time. Herbal lipsticks are safe for use, contain natural nutrients, keep lips healthy, have fewer side effects, and are suitable for everyone. Prepared herbal Lipstick evaluated for different parameters like pH, Spreadability, Melting Point, and Hardness test. The result show the product has correct pH i.e. in between 5.3-5.5, the spreadability, Melting Point and Hardness also have appropriate result. This shows that the prepared formulation is stable.
