Formulation and Development of Compact Powdered Blush by Using Natural Colour from Flowers of Butea Monosperma

Abstract

Blush is a makeup pigment that comes in different hues to color the cheeks. Blushing powder is a popular and high-quality cosmetic product. These days, compact powder blush is preferred because it is convenient to use, lightweight, and easy to carry. Compounds from Butea Monosperma are useful for preserving skin tone, elasticity, and natural coloration in cosmetics. The purpose of this study was to create a compact powder by extracting Butea Monosperma as the flowers were concentrated into an ethanolic extract. The main components of the Compact Powder Blush include isopropyl myristate, zinc oxide, talcum, kaolin, and paraffin liquid. Butea Monosperma concentrations of 2%, 4%, and 6% were employed. A favorable outcome was obtained from the pH stability test, color homogeneity test, polishing test, breakage test, hedonic test, and color stability test.
