Making Lipscrub With Honey Moisturizing Active Ingredients And Natural Exfoliating Coffee Grounds For Dry Lip Treatment

Abstract

Dry lips are a condition in which the lips lose their natural moisture, often caused by environmental factors such as dry weather or wind as well as certain habits such as licking their lips frequently or biting their lips. This condition is common and can affect anyone, both men and women, regardless of age. Lipscrub is a special care product designed to cleanse and care for the skin of the lips. Containing fine scrub granules, lip scrubs aim to remove dead skin cells from the surface of the lips, resulting in a softer, supple texture. This study aims to determine the results of the physical evaluation of lipscrub preparations from natural ingredients of honey and coffee grounds in treating dry lips. Using skin analysis instruments, an experimental method was used in this qualitative study to determine the amount of moisture present in honey on the lips. Lip scrubs with different concentrations of honey were formulated for this study, and their physical stability was assessed using homogeneity tests, dispersion assessments, pH measurements, and organoleptic testing. The use of honey on the lips was found to result in an increase in moisture levels by 20%, 18%, and 16%. After a physical examination, the product was found to have fine grains, a distinctive coffee aroma, and a black hue. No clumping was seen in the homogeneity test. A diameter of five was obtained from the diffusion test, and a stable pH of six was noted. The prepared lip scrub shows good and stable physical quality based on physical evaluation.
