Organic Lip Balm, Formulation, Bignay Fruit Extracts, Cantaloupe Scent, Dermatological Effect Test, pH level

This study formulated organic lip balms using the oil-based Bignay (Antidesma bunius) fruit extracts with Cantaloupe (Cucumis melo var. cantalupensis) scent and employed the true experimental design. In achieving the objectives of the study, the researchers followed the adopted but modified protocol from Laura Ascher (2020). Then the formulated organic Bignay lip balms were subjected to pH level testing and dermatological effect testing. After this, a comparative analysis was determined if there was a significant difference in the dermatological effect test between the treatment and control groups. Further, in formulating the organic lip balm, it utilized oil-based Bignay fruit extracts (7g), beeswax (7g), shea butter (7g), 30 drops of Cantaloupe scent, and 2 capsules of Myra-E, which were mixed with all together at a temperature of 385 degrees Celsius. Also, the pH level of formulated Bignay lip balms is 5.3 indicating safe for use on the lips. Additionally, a 24-hour dermatological test was conducted and revealed no sensitivity or adverse reactions among the human subjects. Moreover, the T-test analysis showed no significant difference between the treatment and control lip balm samples in terms of dermatological effects. Thus, both experimental and control products were found to be safe, with no discomfort, redness, or inflammation reported. So, the study concluded that the formulated organic lip balms using the oil-based Bignay fruit extracts are safe to use for the lips. Hence, it is recommended that future researchers may include conducting stability and shelf-life testing, exploring pigmentation improvement, and investigating additional applications of Bignay fruits beyond lip balm.
