Formulation of Plant Based Moisturizing Lip Balm
Abstract: This Study aimed to Formulate a Natural Moisturizing Lip Balm using extracts of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and Cucumber (Cucumis sativus). Phytochemical analysis detected various bioactive compounds in both extracts. The lip balm was formulated using cold extraction and oil-infused extraction methods, incorporating beeswax, shea butter, essence, alkanet root extract and honey. The product's pH, physical properties (smell, appearance, spreadability, stability, melting point, and hardness) were evaluate, Antimicrobial activity against E. coli and Candida albicans were evaluated. The formulated lip balm exhibited antioxidant properties due to the presence of secondary metabolites. GC-MS analysis identified the chemical compounds present in the extracts. Comparison with commercial products showed similar properties, indicating the potential of Tomato and Cucumber extracts as natural ingredients for lip care products.
