The color pigment of pomengranate peels extracted by soxhlet apparatus with ethanolic extract.Preservatives are used to prevent irritation and prevent bacterial growth, while the dye in lip balm is added only to make the product (lip balm) look attractive this research, researchers would make a lip balm made from natural ingredients. One of the natural ingredients used in this research is pomegranate. The use of natural ingredients aims to reduce and replace synthetic ingredients that exist in lip balm preparations. The compounds in the pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) to be tested are anthocyanins, saponins, tannins, and flavonoids, each of which has a role to replace or reduce synthetic ingredients commonly used in the manufacture of lip balms, so that in the manufacture of lip balms from natural ingredients is expected to bring out the natural color of the pomegranate.
