Lip color is a cosmetic preparation that is used to color the lips with an artistic touch so that it can improve the aesthetics of facial make-up. Lip color is often known as Liptint with a more liquid texture than other lip color preparations. The application of color is very important to improve the quality of Liptint preparations, one of the plants that can be used as a natural dye is kecombrang flower extract (Etlingera elatior (Jack)). This research aims to make a Lip-tint preparation from kecombrang flower extract (Etlingera elatior (Jack)) as a natural coloring agent and antioxidant to ward off free radicals and to evaluate the preparation so that it meets the requirements for a good Lip-tint preparation so that it does not cause irritation. The type of research carried out was experimental. which was carried out by designing, formulating, and evaluating the Liptint preparation as a natural dye in the use of kecombrang flower extract (Etlingera elatior (Jack) with concentrations, 5%, 15%, and 25% as well as analyzing the organoleptic properties, pH, spreadability test, spreadability test, irritation and stability. From the results of the research carried out, it was concluded that dyes from kecombrang flower extract (Etlingera elatior (Jack)) can be formulated in liptint preparations as natural dyes and have an appropriate pH, spreadability, good spreadability, and do not cause irritation. However, the pH of the kecombrang flower extract is less stable in storage, and differences in the concentration of kecombrang flower extract (Etlingera elatior (Jack)) formulated in liptint preparations have an influence on the color of the preparation. The higher the concentration of kecombrang flower extract, the darker the color pigment in the preparation. However, it does not have a significant effect on the physical quality characteristics and effectiveness of the preparation.
