Abstract

Lip balm provides a natural way to keep lips healthy. In this work an effort has been made to formulate herbal lip balm to avoid the potential side effects associated with the lip balms formulated using synthetic materials. A homogeneous mixing method was used to produce the lip balm. Various parameters such as physical stability, pH, melting point, and spreadability were carried out for the evaluation of lip balm. The pH was found to be 5.5 and the melting point was 64 °C. After performing stability studies at room temperature (25.0±3.0°C) and refrigerated condition (4.0± 2.0°C), the prepared lip balm was uniform in nature and could be perfectly applied without any deformation at room temperature and on refrigeration.
