Abstract: The goal of this study is to evaluation the health risks associated with the heavy metals found in traditional lipstick formulations. The objective is to offer a safer alternative to regular lipsticks while maintaining stability or efficacy. The medicated lipstick was made with the powerful dispersion method, where used oil as the dispersing medium. Beetroot powder extract is added to the lipstick to improve its color, and the medicament acyclovir was successfully added to the blend. According to the particle size analysis, the lipstick particles exhibited an average size of 407 nm and ranged in size from 300 to 600 nm, supporting excellent dispersion and homogeneity. 35-day test results confirmed that the goods maintained their stability, indicating that they could be used for an extended length of life. Additionally, by changing the composition of the oil and beet extract, lipsticks of various colors were created with the same stability. To sum up, this study opens the way for further study and development in this field by exhibiting the potential of pharmaceutical additions and natural parts to enhance safety and efficacy in cosmetic formulations.
