  • Abstract:
  • The growing awareness of the harmful effects of synthetic cosmetics has led to increased interest in herbal and natural beauty products. Kajal, also known as Kohl, is a traditional eye cosmetic with cultural and therapeutic significance. However, many commercial kajals contain chemicals that may cause eye irritation and long-term adverse effects. This project aims to formulate and evaluate a herbal eye kajal using natural ingredients that are traditionally known for their eye care benefits. Key ingredients used include lampblack (natural soot) as the black pigment, beeswax for binding, and oils such as castor oil, almond oil, coconut oil, ghee, and vitamin E for their emollient, antioxidant, and soothing properties. Camphor was added for its cooling and antimicrobial effects, while aloe vera gel was incorporated for its hydrating and healing nature. Three formulations (F1, F2, and F3) were prepared with varying ingredient proportions and evaluated for organoleptic (appearance, texture, odor) and physicochemical properties (pH, melting point, spreadability, and stability). The results indicated that all three formulations were acceptable, with Formulation F1 showing the best overall performance in terms of consistency, stability, and user acceptability. This study supports the potential of developing an effective, safe, and eco-friendly herbal eye kajal that can serve as a viable alternative to commercially available chemical-based products.
