Herbal cosmetics are gaining wide popularity because of their natural ingredients and less toxic effects. Aim of the present study was made to formulate lipstick and hand-lotion using mango butter extracted from <em>Mangifera indica</em>, as a substitute for cocoa butter. The prepared lipstick and hand lotion were evaluated for their organoleptic properties such as melting point, pH, surface anomalies, irritancy, spreadability, washability, and other parameters. The prepared herbal cosmetic formulations have shown promising results upon evaluation. The present work also highlights the value addition of agro-industrial waste of mango seeds by incorporating the mango butter into suitable cosmetic formulations.</p> ER -
