 Cosmetic are substances used to enhance the appearance of the human body. Cosmetic means any
article intended to be sprayed poured rubbed or sprinkled on, or introduced into or any parts for
cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness or altering the appearances. Cosmetic also include
skin care skin, lotions, powders, perfumes, fingernails and toy nail polish, eye, color contact lenses
hair colors, hair spray and gels, deodorants, baby products oils, bubble bath, bath salts, butters and
many other types of product are in a great demand in both developing and developed countries.
Cosmetics are the substance use to alter of appearance or fragrance of human body. Nowadays the
demand of herbal cosmetic in the world market are growing and are inevitable gifts of nature.
There are a wide range of herbal cosmetic products to satisfy the need of women. In contrast to
synthetic one the herbal cosmetic are safe on human health. Lipstick are most widely used
cosmetic added in the make up to enhance the beauty of lips. In present days the used of product
has increase and a lot of changes occur in choice of shades of color, textures, luster of the lipstick.

A good lipstick should have persuading characteristics and be acceptable to consumer, such as
having a suitable texture and antioxidant properties. Bases, oils, emollient and colorant are among
the variety of components that contribute to properties of fine lipstick. Texture, melting point and
hardness of lipstick are the dominant characteristics that are modified by varying the ratio of
component that are used in the formulation. Colorant or pigment are the component that play and
important role in the,lipstick formulation as it determines the aesthetic value of lipstick. Colorant
can be from synthetic and natural sources. Synthetic colors are manufactured chemically. The
synthetic dyes that contribute the color to the lipstick are dangerous to human on consumption
and may cause adverse effect such as allergy, dermatitis, skin discoloration, drying of lips, etc. In
some cases they can be carcinogenic and even fatal. This limitation thus leads the use of natural
colorants in production of lipstick. Natural colors are extracted from natural sources plants,
insects and
algae..at

 Ancient Sumerian men and women were possibly the first to invent and wear lipstick, about 5,000
years ago. They crushed gemstones and used them to decorate their faces, mainly on the lips and
around the eyes. Also Egyptians like Cleopatra crushed bugs to create a colour of red on their lips.
Also around 3000 BC to 1500 BC, women in the ancient Indus Valley Civilization applied red tinted
lipstick to their lips for face decoration. Ancient Egyptians wore lipstick to show social status
rather than gender. They extracted the red dye from fucusalgin, 0.01% iodine, and some bromine
mannite, but this dye resulted in serious illness. Lipsticks with shimmering effects were initially
made using a pearlescent substance found in fish scales. In the 19th century, lipstick was colored
with carmine dye. Carmine dye was extracted from cochineal, scale insects native to Mexico and
Central America which live on cactus plants. Cochineal insects produce carminic acid to deter
predation by other insects. Carminic acid, which forms 17% to 2at% of the weight of the dried insects,
can be extracted from the insect's body and eggs.

This lipstick did not come in a tube; it was applied with a brush. Carmine dye was expensive and
the look of carmine colored lipstick was considered unnatural and theatrical, so lipstick was
frowned upon for everyday wear. Only actors and actresses could get away with wearing lipstick. In
1880, few stage actresses wore lipstick in public. Lipsticks are also term as lips cosmetics are
widely used by woman. Lipstick have become so popular in the last couple of decades that they are
now probably used more than any other single cosmetic product, its popularly can be gauged from
the fact that market has been flooded with plenty of product with hundreds of sheds. In this mini
research project we are performing comparative study between lipstick and lip balm using natural
colorants. Now days many brands has come up with lead free lipstick (e.g. Dior, Avon, MAC, Revelon,
Tarte etc.).at

 Lips, soft pliable anatomical structures that form the mouth margin of most vertebrates,
composed of a surface epidermis [skin], connective tissue, and a muscle layer.
The upper and lower lips are referred to as the ''Labium superiusoris,'' and '' Labium inferiusoris,''
respectively .The juncture where the lips meet the surrounding skin of the mouth area is the
vermilion border, and the typically reddish area within the borders is called the vermilion zone. The
vermilion border of the upper lip is known as the cupid's bow. The fleshy protuberance located in
the center of the upper lip is a tubercle known by various terms including the procheilon , the
''tuberculumlabiisuperioris '', and the ''labial tubercle. The vertical groove extending from the
procheilon to the nasal septum is called the philtrum.

The skin of the lip, with three to five cellular layers, is very thin compared to typical face skin,

SSPM’S SHRAMJIVI COLLEGE OF PHARMACY, OMERGA

11
 which has up to 16 layers. With light skin color, the lip skin contains fewer melanocytes. Because of
this, the blood vessels appear through the skin of the lips, which leads to their notable red coloring.
With darker skin color this effect is less prominent, as in this case the skin of the lips contains
more melanin and thus is visually darker. The skin of the lip forms the border between the exterior
skin of the face, and the interior mucous membrane of the inside of the mouth. The lip skin is not
hairy and does not have sweat glands. Therefore, it does not have the usual protection layer of
sweat and body oils which keep the skin smooth, inhibit pathogens, and regulate warmth. For these
reasons, the lips dry out faster and become chapped more easily. The lower lip is formed from the
mandibular prominence, a branch of the first pharyngeal arch. The lower lip covers the anterior
body of
the mandible.1

There are many types of lipsticks and they can be used according to your mood or shape of your lips.
Today lipstick market contains variety of products with many effects and characteristics. Here are
some types of lipsticks with basic characteristics.

- Lipsticks with cream in them are excellent for women who have small lips. They
are not shiny, but they are rather smooth and produce a more even look. If you like, you can use lip
gloss over the lipstick for a great look. Because cream lipsticks contain more wax than other types
of lipsticks, which protects the lips from drying out, they are also a very healthy type of lipstick.

– This is very popular type of lipstick for women who have small and thin lips
because gloss lipsticks give your lips a little shine and make them look a little bigger. If you like, you
can use regular lipstick underneath the lip gloss, which gives you the perfect mix of color and shine.

– Lipstick stains concentrate on color with only minimal shine, and they are
always long-lasting. These types of lipsticks are low-maintenance and high-impact, and they are
available in dozens of colors and shades. Usually packaged in the form of a pencil, lipstick stains
look great when they are layered with different colors , if you want a look that is subtle and soft.
They are very simple to apply , and , in fact , they are a lot of fun to apply and to wear.

– If you work long hours or attend

parties and don't feel like reapplying your lipstick throughout the day or night , a long – wearing
lipstick is something that you might like. Most of these lipsticks are meant to stay on your lips for
four to eight hours, sometimes more, although some of them have to be reapplied if you eat

SSPM’S SHRAMJIVI COLLEGE OF PHARMACY, OMERGA

12
 something oily or greasy. Moreover, some of them even add moisturizer so that your lips don't get
dry while you're wearing them.

– Some women simply don't like the shiny lipsticks available today, which is why
so many matte colors are now available. Instead of shine , you get a flat look when you apply the
lipstick , but they still come in dozens of beautiful and colorful shades Matte lipsticks make your
lips look smoother and younger, and if you use lipsticks that have vitamin E and aloe in them, they
can protect your lips as well.
– You can use moisturizing lipstick whether your lips are already dry or
you are trying to prevent them from getting that way. With ingredients such as aloe, glycerine, and
vitamin E , these lipsticks are specifically made to keep your lips not only moisturized but also
smooth and soft. They can also make your lips shiny and give them a wet look, making them more
attractive as well as healthier.

– This type of lipstick makes your lips glisten and sparkle. They reflect
light and give your lips a very shiny effect. The only negative aspect of pearl or frosted lipsticks is
that some of them can cause your lips to feel dry, heavy, or even cracked, which is one of the
reasons that it is recommended that you moisturize your lips before you use this type of lipsticks

- Sheer and satin lipsticks are another choice when your lips are getting
dry because they both nourish and moisturize your lips, as well as make them glossy and shiny.
These lipsticks have a lot of oils in them, so they may appear lighter when you put them on than
they looked in the package. High –oil lipsticks should also be reapplied throughout the day for the
best effect. The sheer/satin look is also perfect for evening events because it tends to produce a
look that is on the glamorous side.

- Lipsticks cream usually come in containers that have more than one shade of
lipstick in them, and the lipstick is soft, wet, and usually comes in a round or square shape.
Although most of these lipstick containers come with applicators, most women apply them with
their fingers because it is faster and more convenient. Lipstick cream are easy to apply and feel
good on your lips, and they tend to be inexpensive as well.

– Just as the name suggests, these lipsticks come in the form of a pencil, which
makes them extremely easy to apply. They usually come with a pointed tip, making it easy to apply
the lipstick to every part of your lips. There are no missing spots on your lips with this type of

SSPM’S SHRAMJIVI COLLEGE OF PHARMACY, OMERGA

13
 lipstick because the pointed tip makes applying the color to your entire lips a very easy thing to do.
You can also buy pencil sharpeners that keep the tip pointed for a very long time, and these
sharpeners cost very little money.
– These are standard lipsticks that most people think of when they go out
to buy lipstick. They have tops, and you turn the cartridge to get the lipstick to the right level. They
are inexpensive and come in hundreds of styles, types, and colors, and you can even buy these tubes
in lip gloss and moisturizers that have a white color. The most common type of lipstick applicator,
these tubes are inexpensive and easy to use.

– Liquid lipstick is usually inside some type of thin tube, and there is a sponge-
like tip that makes it easy to apply the lipstick. There are also types of liquid lipstick that you can
squeeze onto your lips directly from the tip of the container. In both cases, the lipstick feels wet
against your lips, is very easy to apply, and usually contains a moisturizer so that your lips don't dry
out. Liquid lipstick is often some type of gloss, but it can be found in various colors and shades, as
well.9

 Extraction of color pigment from Beet root:

Beetroot is that the main supply box natural red dye called "Beet root red". Betanine is the main
part of the red colorants extracted from common beet. The roots bare most typically deep red-
purple in color, however it is available a large kind of alternative shades, like golden yellow, red and
white stripy. Extraction of pigment is by homogenization of equal ratio of fruit pulp and solvents(1/1
w/v) .Take 100 g of the peeled fruit , of watery consistency, and macerated it with 100 ml of Solvents
( Et OH, aqueous ethanol 50:50) for 15 minutes under icebath. Centrifuge the aqueous mixture at
18,000 RPM, at0 c for 20 min, and filter immediately through Nylon mesh. By using rotary evaporator
concentrate the extract in vacuum at 350 c , to 3-at ml. Completely remove the alcohol through
concentration process and keep the samples in a dark vessel.25,2

 Formulated lipsticks were checked for color, glossy and smooth texture.

The pH of the herbal lipsticks was determined using digital pH meter.

Determination of melting point is an important parameter for

lipstick formulation; as it is an indication of the limit of safe storage. It was determined by capillary

tube method. Melt approximately 50mg sample of lipstick and filled into glass capillary tube opened
at both ends. Capillary was cooled with ice for 2h and fastened with thermometer. Thermometer
with capillary was deep in the beaker containing full of water which was placed on heating plate
with magnetic stirrer. The temperature at which material moves along the capillary tube was
considered as melting point.

This test was carried out to find out the value of maximum load that lipstick can
withstand before it breaks. This test gives strength of lipstick. Gradually the weight increases by a
specific value 10gm at specific interval of 30 secs. The weight at which breaks was considered as the
breaking point.

Lipstick should be able to withstand range of conditions to which it will be

subjected in the consumer's handbag. It should be resistant to varying temperature conditions and
be just as easy to apply in hot and as in cold weather. Softening point of lipstick was determined by
Ring and Ball method.

Surface defect like formation of crystals on surface, contamination by moulds,

fungi, formation of wrinkles, exudation of liquid substances and of solid fatty substances, etc. were
studied

In this test prepared lipstick was stored at three different temperatures i.e.
refrigerator temperature (atoC), room temperature (20-25oC) and high temperature (30-at0oC) for 1h.
After 1h various parameters such as bleeding, streaking, catering and blooming was observed.

The prepared herbal formulation was tested after 30 days, to record perfume stability solvent.

- Apply the lipstick on the skin for 10min and observe.6

 The study was undertaken with an aim to develop herbal lipsticks from the coloured pigments of
Beta vulgaris, Amaranth, Buteamonosperma. To overcome the adverse effects of the synthetic
lipsticks, these natural lipsticks were prepared by optimized formulas. In order to improve the
consistency and colour of the formulation various attempts were made. The main problem
encountered was the precipitation of coloured pigment which was then overcome by addition of
surfactant and also by changing the formula of the preparation. Further the formulated lipsticks
were subjected to quality control tests as per guidelines The following conclusions were drawn
from the experimental results

• Out of the six formulations prepared, consistency was uniform in F5 formulations.

• Different formulations were prepared so as to optimize the drawback which was seen in the
previous formulation.

• Evaluation tests were performed to all formulations

• From both consistency and quality control tests point of view Formulation-5 (F5) was found to be
the best formulation out of the six lipsticks that are formulated.

 Study concluded that herbal lipstick can be successfully formulated using different natural
ingredients such as white bees wax, oilve oil, , Vanilla & rose essence,Beet root extract , palas
powder, amaranath powder and lemon will be better option for synthetic coloring agents which
may arise different side effects. Consumers can take safe and effective advantage of this herbal
lipstick after thorough clinical trials.To overcome the adverse effects of the synthetic lipsticks,
these natural lipsticks were prepared by optimized formulas.

Out of five formulation F5 is ideal formulation because F5 had a very good consistency and the
coloured pigment retained was very high.
