Description 337-345
The purpose of this study is to address the health concerns associated with heavy metal contaminants in traditional
lipstick formulations. The objective is to develop a safer alternative to conventional lipsticks while ensuring stability and
efficacy. The medicated lipstick has been successfully synthesized using a dispersion method, with oil serving as the
dispersing media. Incorporation of beetroot powder extract imparted colour to the lipstick, while acyclovir drug has been
effectively integrated into the formulation. Particle size analysis revealed that the lipstick particles ranged from 300 nm to
600 nm, with an average particle size of 407 nm, indicating suitable dispersion and homogeneity. Stability studies conducted
over a period of 35 days demonstrated good stability of the products, suggesting its potential for long-term use. Further,
different colour lipstick was synthesized with the same stability by altering the oil and beetroot extract composition. In
conclusion, this study highlights the potential of natural ingredients and pharmaceutical additives in cosmetic formulations
to enhance safety and efficacy, paving the way for further research and development in this area.
