One of the fruits in Indonesia that can be used in the cosmetic sector is watermelon. Its red color indicates the high content of lycopene, a natural pigment as a coloring agent in decorative cosmetic formulations, especially blusher. The purpose of this study was to determine whether watermelon extract can be used as a dye in blusher preparations and to determine the formulation of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) blusher does not cause skin irritation when used.
