Develops an herbal lipstick with Lactobacillus sp. for antimicrobial benefits, suggesting new cosmetic applications.
The increasing demand for natural and safe cosmetic products has led to the development of herbal formulations with added biological benefits. This study focuses on the preparation of a micro herbal lipstick incorporating Lactobacillus sp., aiming to provide moisturizing, antimicrobial, and probiotic effects. Herbal ingredients such as plant-based waxes, oils, and natural pigments were used along with microencapsulated Lactobacillus species. The formulation was evaluated for physicochemical properties, stability, spread ability, and microbial safety. Results indicated that the developed lipstick was stable, safe, and showed potential antimicrobial benefits, suggesting its application as a novel functional cosmetic.
