Abstract

Cosmetics have been in high demand since prehistoric times. Formulations for lipstick are used to enhance the appearance of lips. Lipstick is a cosmetic item that gives the lips colour, texture, and protection. It also contains pigments, oils, waxes, and emollients. There are several different types of lipstick that are only worn by women. The natural and safe component is found in organic lipstick. Additionally, they contain natural nutrients that support healthy lips. The prolonged use of synthetic lipstick colours can have major negative effects on the skin, including cancer and skin rashes. Using natural colour extracts from various natural sources might lessen the negative effect. This review mainly focuses on lipstick formulation, natural colourant extraction, and evaluation.
