A desire of consumers for safer, chemical-free alternatives drives up demand for herbal and natural cosmetics. The development of herbal lipstick using natural colouring substances sourced from plants is the primary goal of this study. The primary objective is to develop a lipstick that minimizes the risk of negative skin reactions and can be used for extended periods of time. The main ingredients for the necessary consistency, miniaturization, and easy application are beeswax, Shea butter, and coconut oil. As colouring additives, natural pigments including turmeric, hibiscus petals, and beetroot extract were used. These pigments were chosen based of their vivid shades, safety document, and extra benefits like antioxidant ability. This formulation presents an effective alternative to synthetic cosmetic products, contributing to both skin health and environmental sustainability. The study concludes that natural colouring agents can be successfully used in the preparation of herbal lipsticks, offering a promising option for consumers seeking natural, eco-friendly cosmetic options. The developed lipstick was examined for various parameters, including melting point, substance, and dissemination, stability, and colour retention. The results demonstrated that the herbal lipstick provided a smooth usage, lasting colour, and remained stable under typical environmental conditions.
