Abstract

Lip colorants are cosmetic preparations used to color the lips with an artistic touch, thereby enhancing the aesthetic aspect of facial makeup. This study aims to formulate a lipstick using a natural dye derived from angkak (Monascus purpureus), with variations in the wax base using beeswax and candelilla wax, to produce a safe, comfortable, and long-lasting lipstick product. Methods: This experimental study was conducted in four stages: Stage one, Extraction of Natural Dye: The natural dye from Monascus purpureus was extracted using the maceration method with 96% ethanol as the solvent. Stage two, Lipstick Formulation: Three formulas were developed—F1, F2, and F3—with the following beeswax to candelilla wax ratios: F1 (2 : 3.57), F2 (3.57 : 2), F3 (2.78 : 2.78). Stage three, Physical Quality Evaluation: The formulations were evaluated for organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH, melting point, spreadability, hardness, and stability. Stage four, Antioxidant Activity Test: To assess the antioxidant potential of the natural dye used. Results: All lipstick formulas exhibited good physical stability and met the required physical quality standards for organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH, melting point, spreadability, and stability. However, a significant difference was found in the hardness test results, influenced by the varying concentrations of beeswax and candelilla wax. Conclusion: Variations in the concentration of beeswax and candelilla wax affect the physical quality, particularly the hardness of the lipstick. The best hardness result was obtained in Formula 1 (F1), with a beeswax concentration of 2% and candelilla wax concentration of 3.57%.
