Sappan wood (Caesalpinia sappan L.) is known to contain various bioactive compounds such as saponins, tannins, flavonoids, phenols, brazilin, and gallic acid. These compounds play an important role as antioxidants that can ward off free radicals and absorb UVA and UVB radiation that are harmful to the skin. Ultraviolet radiation is known to accelerate premature aging and cause tissue damage, so a topical formulation is needed that can provide protection while maintaining skin health. This study aims to determine the antioxidant activity and sunscreen ability of sappan wood extract in the form of lip balm with varying extract concentrations. Antioxidant activity was evaluated using the DPPH (1,1-Diphenyl-2-Picrylhydrazyl) method, while the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) value was determined by the Mansyur method using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. Sappan wood extract was formulated into four lip balm preparations, namely F0 (control without extract), F1 (5%), F2 (10%), and F3 (15%). Physical tests including homogeneity, pH, spreadability, adhesiveness, and organoleptic were conducted to ensure the quality of the preparation. The results showed that sappanwood extract had an IC50 value of 23.62 ppm which was categorized as very strong antioxidant activity. In the lip balm formulation, the IC50 values ​​obtained were F0 = 246.76 ppm (very weak), F1 = 92.68 ppm (strong), F2 = 78.03 ppm (strong), and F3 = 63.58 ppm (strong). The SPF test showed a protection value of F0 = 2.11 (minimum), F1 = 13.64 (maximum), F2 = 14.25 (maximum), and F3 = 18.28 (ultra). Thus, lip balm made from sappanwood extract has the potential as a cosmetic preparation that not only meets physical criteria, but also provides high antioxidant activity and effective sunscreen protection.

Lip balm is a cosmetic product designed to protect and maintain the moisture of the lips, especially from environmental factors that can cause dry, cracked, or irritated lips, such as low temperatures and wind. Dry lips can interfere with comfort and appearance, making protection with lip balm essential. This study aims to formulate and evaluate a lip balm preparation made from a combination of natural and chemical ingredients, such as cera flava, oleum cacao, nipagin, glycerin, lanolin, and the addition of powder dye. These ingredients were chosen because of their ability to maintain lip moisture, provide protection against external factors, and ensure long-term safety for use. The lip balm manufacturing process begins with heating the primary ingredients, cera flava and oleum cacao, which are melted first. After the primary ingredients have melted, additional ingredients such as nipagin, glycerin, lanolin, and powder dye are added gradually. The mixture is stirred carefully to ensure that all ingredients are evenly blended. Once all the ingredients are well-mixed, the liquid mixture is poured into molds and allowed to cool and harden. This process is crucial for achieving the desired lip balm texture, which should not be too hard or too soft and should facilitate easy application to the lips. Based on the analysis results, the formulated lip balm demonstrates good physical stability, without significant changes in color, odor, or texture during testing. The lip balm also provides ease of use, with a smooth texture that is easy to apply to the lips. The results of this study show that the combination of ingredients used can produce an effective lip balm product that maintains lip moisture and provides optimal protection against harsh environmental conditions, such as low temperatures.

The lips are one of the most sensitive parts of the body and are highly vulnerable to damage from ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight. Unlike other parts of the skin, the lips lack oil glands, making them more prone to dryness, chapping, and inflammation when not properly protected. One common method to maintain lip moisture and health is the use of lip balm. Natural lip balms made from ingredients such as beeswax and coconut oil are widely used due to their excellent emollient properties, which help moisturize and provide a protective layer on the surface of the lips. However, using natural lip balm alone may not be sufficient to offer complete protection, particularly against the harmful effects of UV rays. Therefore, innovation is needed by incorporating Sun Protection Factor (SPF) into natural lip balm formulations to enhance protection from sun exposure. This study aims to evaluate the effect of adding SPF to lip balm formulations based on beeswax and coconut oil, focusing on UV protection effectiveness, product stability, and moisturizing ability. The method involved formulating two types of lip balm—one with SPF and one without. UV protection effectiveness was tested using in vitro spectrophotometry, while moisturizing ability was assessed by measuring skin moisture content on the lips. In addition, physical characteristics such as texture, color, and stability under various storage conditions were analyzed. The results showed that the lip balm with added SPF provided significantly higher UV protection compared to the formulation without SPF. Furthermore, the addition of SPF did not reduce the moisturizing performance of beeswax and coconut oil and did not interfere with the overall product stability. In conclusion, integrating SPF into natural lip balm formulations is an effective innovation to enhance the protective function of lip care products without compromising their moisturizing benefits or user comfort. This combination provides a holistic solution for maintaining lip health while preventing UV-induced damage.

This study aims to analyze the causes of bottlenecks in lip balm production at PT Rumah Rumput Laut by using a survey approach and fishbone diagram analysis method. The research method used is a descriptive method with survey approach which was conducted at PT Rumah Rumput Laut, Bogor Regency, West Java. Data were collected through observations and interviews with related parties in the production process based on previously identified problems. A fishbone diagram was used to identify the factors causing bottlenecks, which were grouped into six main categories, namely: manpower, machine, method, material, measurement, and environment. The results of the fishbone diagram analysis show that bottlenecks in lip balm production are caused by the irregular flow of material transfer, long waiting time for the quality control process, and limited production capacity. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to improve the operator supervision system, implement a regular machine maintenance schedule, rearrange the production space layout, and use technology to monitor machine conditions in real time.

Using lip balm is very easy to apply to the lips and lip balm can also moisturize and brighten the lips. Lip balm is resistant to body temperature, and is harmless and smooth when applied so that the lips are cared for and healthy. The anthocyanin contained in mulberry fruit has the potential to act as a purplish red natural dye depending on the presentation of the mulberry fruit extract used, which has the positive side of being an antioxidant and scavenger of free radicals. The aim of this research was to determine the formulation and stability of the lip balm preparation formula using mulberry fruit extract (Morus alba L.) as a natural coloring with an accelerated stability test using 4 cycles. Using this research method, material testing includes organoleptic tests, homogeneity tests, melting point tests, pH tests, spreadability tests, adhesion tests, spreadability tests, stability tests, and hedonic tests, as well as preparation irritation tests. Based on the results of research on making lip balm from mulberry fruit extract as a natural coloring, it can be formulated in lip balm preparations, however if 20% extract is used it can affect the physical properties of the lip balm preparation, neither the 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% formulas. irritation was found.
