        abstract = {Cosmetics are compounds that are used to change the way the human body smells or looks. The global market for herbal cosmetics is expanding these days, and they are unavoidable natural gifts. The artificial coloring chemicals used in cosmetics have been found by researchers to have carcinogenic qualities. Natural lipsticks are becoming more and more popular due to the safety of natural cosmetics. Lipstick is a type of cosmetic product that gives lips color, texture, and protection by combining pigments, oils, waxes, and emollients. The majority of herbal lipsticks are created using natural ingredients including pomegranates, beets, turmeric, tomatoes, and shankhpushpi flowers. This study's objective was to make and evaluate natural lipsticks using powdered Shankhpushpi flowers and lemon. The moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant qualities of shankhpushpi extract make it a great choice for enhancing the color and texture of lips. There are numerous naturally occurring bioactive compounds, including volatile oils, alkaloids, glycosides, flavonoids, and saponins. Herbal lipsticks are less likely to cause side effects. The herbal lipstick is safe to use and keeps lips healthy because it contains natural chemicals or nutrients. Natural lipstick has no adverse effects, which is why we use it. Furthermore, parameters including pH, melting and breaking points, and smoothness are being assessed.},
