  • Abstract:
  • Cosmeceuticals are cosmetic products enriched with biologically active components that provide therapeutic or drug-like benefits. This research focused on the formulation, design, and quality evaluation of a lip balm derived entirely from natural ingredients. The formulation incorporated beetroot, almond oil, aloe vera, vitamin E, and rose essence, blended using a uniform mixing technique. The lip balm was assessed for various parameters, including chemical stability, pH, melting point, and spreadability. The product exhibited a pH of 6.0 and a melting point in the range of 63–65°C. Stability studies were conducted under different conditions: ambient temperature (25.0±3.0°C), refrigeration (4.0±2.0°C), and elevated temperature (40.0±2.0°C). The findings revealed that the lip balm maintained its consistency, applied smoothly, and retained its structural integrity across all storage conditions.This study concludes that the natural ingredient-based lip balm offers significant potential as an alternative for managing various lip-related issues.
