Lip balm is one of the most often used cosmetics to improve the appearance of consumers among a wide range of cosmetics. Organic lip balms have numerous advantages over conventional ones. They don't include any synthetic chemicals that could irritate skin. Lips are inherently more prone to dryness because they lack sweat glands, unlike the scalps and faces, which create oils to preserve the skin. With the moisture from a decent lip balm, the lips will stay luscious and recover from dryness, cracks, and peeling more quickly. Rich in vital nutrients, oil-based lip balms calm the skin around the lips. In this study, organic lip balms were formulated by utilizing a comparison based on the type and amount of oil in 2.0g and 4.0g between Rubus idaeus seed oil and Cocos nucifera oil as the key ingredients. A comparison is made between the color extracted naturally from beta vulgaris and vaccinium caesariense to identify the optimal formulation with an appealing color. To develop a formulation that is effective in moisturizing and protecting the lips, the samples underwent tests using evaluation parameters such as physical appearance, spreadability test, measurement of pH, moisture analysis and FTIR test. From the test, the result shows a 4:1 ratio of Rubus idaeus seed oil to beta vulgaris powder is the organic lip balm formulation that effectively demonstrates its efficacy in moisturizing and color appealing.
