Abstract

The present research work is based on the formulation and evaluation of herbal lip balm by using natural herbals like rose oil, bees wax, Shea butter, vitamin E, Beet root. Rose oil nourishes and softens lips naturally. The herbal lip balm which possesses antiinflammatory properties and heals chapped lips was formulated and evaluated. The lip balm was produced by homogenous mixing. The lip balm, was characterized for physical stability, pH, melting point, and spreadability. The pH was found to be 5.5 to 6.5 and the melting point was found to be 63 to 65°C. After carrying out stability tests at room temperature (25.0-3.0°C) and in a refrigerator (4.0-2.0°C), it was demonstrated that the manufactured lip balm was uniform in nature and could be applied flawlessly without any deformation

Vermillion border 

Latin terms labium superius oris and labium inferius oris refer to the anatomical names for the upper and lower lip, respectively.  The lower lip includes the area between the lateral commissures and the labiomental crease of the chin, although considerations of the lips are typically focused on the vermilion zone. The upper lip extends from the nasolabial folds to the inferior border of the nose.

Tubercles 

The tubercle or procheilon is the underlying fleshy fullness of the philtrum, which forms the downward arch of the cupid’s bow. 

Oral commisures 

The commissure is the point where the upper and lower lips meet at the mouth angle.

Several muscles used in lip movement attach at this location.

Philtrum 

A symmetrical pair of paramedian vertical philtral ridges that surround the philtrum, a central depression, are features of the upper lip. Dermal collagen and thick elastic tissue combine to generate a special collection that forms the philtrum and philtral ridges. It is thought that the philtrum provides extra skin that can be pulled into oral movements that need upper lip stretching.

CONCLUSION

The stability of the formulations kept in the refrigerator and at room temperature was comparable. Spreadability and stable organoleptic characteristics are regarded as "good." The product's functioning is preserved, thus storage under these circumstances is deemed appropriate. A lip balm composed of natural materials had a suitable melting temperature of 64° C on average during the stability test. In contrast to standard stability testing, the spreadability test indicates that furnace storage conditions (40.0±2.0° C) are not advised since they result in a loss of product functioning. Natural ingredient-based lip balms were shown to be safe to use, and this combination was thought to be a superior option for lip balm formulation.  It is possible to produce a new formulation with distinct and enhanced properties by altering the excipients or other excipient combinations. can produce a novel formulation with enhanced and unique properties. It is anticipated that this formula will stay constant based on recent research
