ABSTRACT

Natural foods, herbal remedies, and natural healing methods are the best options for a healthy lifestyle. Organic vegetable goods are also in high demand. The use of herbal products has multiplied in the personal care industry. Lips are a pretty organ that can develop conditions including Angular Cheilitis (AC), discolouration, peeling, drying, irritation, and cracking. AC is characterized by the redness and inflammation at the corners of the mouth followed by bacterial infections. So, it needs to be treated with some anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, anti-microbial and antifungal herbal drugs. In the present project, we have designed and evaluated the herbal lip balm effective in Angular cheilitis. The different batches of herbal lip balm were prepared by using the herbs like Moringa oleifera, Lemon grass oil, and neem oil as active ingredients. The excipients like bees wax, paraffin wax, coconut oil and tween 80 were used. The prepared herbal lip balm was evaluated by organoleptic characters, greasiness, pH, melting point, and normal stability study, perfume stability and anti-microbial and antifungal activity. The prepared lip balm has shown good anti-microbial and antifungal activity against the E. coli, P. auriginosa, S. aureus and Candida albican. The best formulation was selected as per the above evaluation. The lemon grass oil, Moringa oleifera leaf extract and Neem oil have shown significant anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory action. Hence, the prepared herbal lip balm can be effective in treatment of Angular cheilitis.
