FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF A POLYHERBAL LIP BALM
AbstractThe present study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a natural lip balm utilizing polyherbal ingredients. The formulation incorporates cocoa butter, coconut oil, castor oil, honey, aloe vera gel, beetroot extract, pomegranate extract, rose oil, and vitamin E oil to provide moisturizing, antioxidant, and healing benefits. A total of 80 millilitres of lip balm was prepared following a stepwise method: melting the base ingredients, followed by the addition of humectants and heat-sensitive herbal extracts at controlled temperatures to preserve their bioactive properties. The herbal extracts not only impart therapeutic effects but also act as naturalcolorants and fragrance enhancers. The developed lip balm aims to offer effective lip protection, hydration, and a soothing effect, with minimal use of synthetic additives. Evaluation parameters such as appearance, pH, spreadability, melting point, and stability were assessed to ensure the product’s efficacy and consumer acceptability. The study highlights the potential of natural and polyherbal formulations in developing safe, effective, and eco-friendly cosmetic products.
