        abstract = {The present study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a herbal lip balm incorporating carrot (Daucus carota) extract along with natural excipients such as beeswax, olive oil, rose water, glycerol, and vitamin
E. Carrot extract, rich in beta-carotene and antioxidants, was selected for its moisturizing, healing, and protective properties. The lip balm was prepared using a standardized method involving melting of waxes and oils, incorporation of active ingredients, and moulding into solid form. The prepared formulations (F1 and F2) were subjected to evaluation parameters including organoleptic properties, melting point, pH, spread ability, skin irritation, and stability. Results indicated that the lip balm exhibited smooth texture, pleasant odor, orange coloration, satisfactory spread ability, and stability under different storage conditions. No signs of irritation were observed, and the pH was within the acceptable range for topical application. Among the two formulations, F1 demonstrated superior performance. The study concludes that herbal lip balm containing carrot extract is safe, effective, and represents a promising alternative to synthetic lip care products.},
