Challenges

The products that were earlier used to improve the visual appearance of skin showed side effects like skin irritation. Also, the skin took a long time to recover.
- Chronological aging and photoaging effects skin’s elasticity and atrophy, wrinkling with vascular changes respectively. The challenge is that the antioxidants present in anti-aging creams get oxidized and lose their anti-oxidant capacity.
- The traditional cosmetic composition comprises menthol or menthol derivative for cooling effect to prevent heat damage to the skin.
- A regular lipstick is mostly made by suspending colored pigments in a base of petroleum-derived emollients such as paraffin oils, waxes along with texturizing agents such as silicones, and other form-imparting fillers.
Innovative Solutions

Anthocyanin Sunscreen Lipsticks
Health hazards caused by the percutaneous absorption or accidental oral administration of inedible dyes is a challenge present in lipstick for preventing UV exposure.
To overcome the above-mentioned health hazards, cellulose nanocrystals and organic colored pigments containing anthocyanins are integrated as reinforcement matrices for enhancing the SPF of lipsticks.
Results show that anthocyanin sunscreen lipsticks with cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) exhibited 10 times more SPF value than anthocyanin (AN) alone. Furthermore, lipstick possesses competitive benefits such as pleasing texture, superior adhesion, impermeable, no phototoxicity, ease of application, and removal. CNC-AN products had higher UV absorption efficiency.
The pH of lipstick was optimum between 5 and 5.5. The CNC-AN lipstick had a granular sensation. The lipstick was smudge-proof and showed excellent water resistance. The lipstick could be cleaned easily.
