Abstract

Lipstick is a cosmetic primer that adds a creative touch to lip color and enhances the visual appeal of facial makeup. Red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus), has anthocyanin pigments that make it useful as a natural color pigment to prepare lipstick formulas. The purpose of this study is to find out that red dragon fruit extract (Hylocereus polyrhizus) can be used to make lipstick preparations and assess the stability of lipstick preparations using red dragon fruit extract. Meanwhile, this type of research is an experimental research, where the sample is extracted using the maceration method, with the solvent used being 96% ethanol and an additional 1% citric acid. This study was made in 4 lipstick formulations with different concentrations, namely F0 (0%), F1 (5%), F2 (10%) and F3 (15%). The results of this study show that the F0 lipstick preparation produces a beige yellow color, F1 is pale purple, F2 and F3 are purple. The smell produced is the distinctive smell of oleu rosae, solid shape and soft texture. The Formula F0, F1, F2 and F3 has a pH of 6, and is non-irritating and stable at cold (16oC), room temperature (25oC) and high temperature (45oC). Then at the stage of Homogeneity Test, pH Test, Stability Test has met the test requirements so that the lisptick is safe to use.
