Lipstick is a cosmetic product containing pigments, oils, waxes, and emollients that apply colour, texture, and protection to the lips. Many varieties of lipstick exist as with most other types of makeup, lipstick is typically, but not exclusively, worn by women. The use of lipstick dates back to ancient times. The main aim of this work is to formulate and evaluate natural lipstick from coloured pigments of Beta vulgaris taproot by using natural colouring pigment and minimising the side effects of synthetic formulations. The objective of the present work is to extract the coloured pigments from Beta vulgaris taproot, optimize the formula for the preparation of lipstick and evaluate the prepared formulations.
