Abstract

The present study was conducted using ingredients that produce fewer adverse effects. Products designed to protect rather than enhance lips are known as lip emollients This study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of an herbal lip balm using natural ingredients such as beeswax, coconut oil, and extracts of tulsi, aloe vera, and beetroot. The aim was to develop a safe, effective, and eco-friendly alternative to commercial lip care products. The lip balm was prepared using the melting and pouring method, followed by various physicochemical evaluations including spread ability, pH, melting point, and stability tests. Additionally, antimicrobial activity and user acceptance were assessed. Results demonstrated that the herbal formulation possessed desirable characteristics and good user satisfaction, indicating its potential as a viable natural lip care product.
