Over the past decades, the demand for natural cosmetic products has increased as consumers have become more aware of the harmful effects of synthetic chemicals used in cosmetics. This study developed and formulated a lip tint using gumamela flower and aloe vera gel as natural ingredients. The product was evaluated in terms of sensory attributes and acceptability, specifically color, texture, fragrance, and flavor. Significant differences in sensory attributes and acceptability were also determined, and the pH level of each formulation was tested and analyzed. An experimental research design using a Completely Randomized Design was employed. A total of 30 evaluators participated. A 5-point Likert scale was used for evaluation. Data were analyzed using mean and one-way ANOVA. Results showed that Treatment A (with 2 parts gumamela and 1part aloe vera) consistently received the highest ratings across all sensory attributes. Treatment B (with 1 part gumamela and 1part aloe vera) obtained favorable ratings, followed by Treatment C (with 1 part gumamela and 2 parts aloe vera), which received generally good ratings across all sensory attributes. In terms of acceptability, Treatment A obtained the highest mean rating, while Treatments B and C were also rated as very acceptable. Regarding product application performance, Treatment A achieved the highest ratings. Treatments B and C received good ratings. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference in color among three treatments, with Treatment A obtaining the best result. However, no significant differences were found in texture, fragrance, and flavor. There was no significant difference in general acceptability. In terms of pH level, Treatment C obtained a pH value of 5, which falls within the acceptable range for lip cosmetic products. In contrast, Treatments A and B recorded lower pH values of 3 and 4, respectively. The combination of gumamela flower and aloe vera in a lip tint may satisfy consumer needs for a non-toxic, natural component that is good for the skin while fulfilling its cosmetic function.
