The increased desire for natural and herbal cosmetics has led experts to study plant-derived components to create safe and effective formulations. This study examines the phytochemical characterization, formulation, and assessment of herbal lipstick using Celosia cristata flower extract as a natural colour and functional component. Qualitative phytochemical testing found flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, and saponins in the extract. They limit bacterial growth and are antioxidants. Five different formulations of herbal lipstick were prepared using the melt and pour method and evaluated for various physicochemical parameters, including texture, spreadability, melting point, and stability. Among these, Formulation 1 exhibited superior characteristics, demonstrating optimal colour stability, smooth texture, and enhanced user acceptability compared to the other formulations. The results suggest that Celosia cristata flower extract is a promising natural alternative to synthetic dyes in lipsticks, offering both aesthetic and functional benefits. Further studies, including extended stability analysis and in vivo assessments, are recommended to optimize the formulation for commercial application.
