Abstract :
Cosmetics are the external preparations, which are applied to the skin, hair, nails for various purposes like protecting, covering, coloring, beautifying, cleansing and nourishing. Lip Balm is one of the beauty products that soothe dryness and chapping and assist sore lips to experience better. Red Dragon Fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) contains an effective antioxidant amaranth colorant referred to as betacyanin pigment. The application of natural color derived from the Red Dragon fruit is safe and can act as a natural dye that has antioxidant properties which do not affect the color and texture of the lip balm. The dragon fruit herbal lip balm is a natural, effective, and sustainable alternative to traditional lip balms. Its unique blend of ingredients provides excellent moisturization, protection, and antioxidant benefits, making it an attractive option for consumers seeking a healthy and natural lip care solution. The aim of the study was to formulate and evaluate herbal lip balm incorporated with dragon fruit and honey.
