Abstract
In the present study an attempt has been made to propose the application of natural dye from Ixora coccinea L., commonly known as Jungle geranium, in the field of textiles and cosmetics. Dyeing with I. coccinea colourant with different combinations of mordants resulted in different shades, such as pink, lilac, and grey shades. The dyed samples were tested according to ISO standard test methods. The samples dyed with combinations of stannous chloride/ferrous sulphate and stannous chloride/ammonium ferrous sulphate were found to have good wash, rubbing, and light fastness properties. Moreover, an effort was made to formulate lip balm. The formulation was evaluated for its stability at 25 and 40 °C for 90 days. The colour of the product was assessed by measuring the L*a*b* values. The product offers excellent properties of smoothness, spreadability, and stability at 25 °C.
