From ancient times to the present, there has always been an expanding market for cosmetics. There are a wide variety of cosmetic products on the market, including lipstick, kajal, mascara, and eye liner. Applying lipstick has several purposes, including improving one's appearance, making one more appealing, and protecting the lips. The market stocks it in a range of colours and shapes, including liquid and stick. Synthetic colourants included in lipstick are really bad for our skin since they are composed of chemicals. It causes a wide range of problems, including allergy, discomfort, rashes, chapped lips, and even cancer in extreme cases. For this reason, the demand for herbal cosmetics has expanded worldwide and the popularity of using herbs for beauty purposes has increased rapidly in recent years. Herbal lipsticks do not include any potentially harmful ingredients. Because of its various benefits, herbal lipstick should prevent lip dryness and cracking. The purpose of this research was to create and evaluate many formulations of a herbal lipstick made from extracts of the beetroot, rose petal and using papaya petiole as a mould. Prepared herbal lipstick was evaluated for a variety of characteristics, including smoothness, greatness, melting point, breaking point, and pH, etc.
