        abstract = {Cosmeceuticals are cosmetic products that contain biologically active components designed to provide therapeutic or drug-like benefits. In this research, the design, quality, and formulation of a lip balm derived from natural ingredients were investigated. The lip balm was created using a variety of substances including beetroot, almond oil, aloe Vera, vitamin E, and rose essence. A uniform mixing technique was employed in the production process. To assess the lip balm, it was applied to a glass slide, and various parameters such as chemical stability, pH, melting point, and spreadability were evaluated. The lip balm exhibited a pH of 6.0 and a melting point between 63-65°C. Stability studies conducted at ambient temperature (25.0±3.0°C), refrigerated conditions (4.0±2.0°C), and oven temperature (40.0±2.0°C) demonstrated that the lip balm remained consistent in nature, applied smoothly, and maintained its integrity at both room temperature and refrigeration. Thus, the lip balm formulated from these natural ingredients appears to be a promising alternative for addressing various lip ailments.},
