Instructions for Preparation:
- Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment and workspace.
- Phase A: In a heat-resistant beaker, combine distilled water and vegetable glycerin. Heat to 70-75°C (158-167°F).
- Phase B: In a separate heat-resistant beaker, combine shea butter, sweet almond oil, emulsifying wax NF, and cetyl alcohol. Heat to 70-75°C (158-167°F), ensuring all solids are fully melted.
- Emulsification: Slowly pour Phase B into Phase A while continuously mixing with a stick blender or whisk until a stable emulsion forms. Continue mixing occasionally until the lotion cools down to approximately 30-35°C (86-95°F).
- Phase C: Once the lotion has cooled, add Vitamin E oil, panthenol, and your chosen preservative. Mix thoroughly to ensure even dispersion.
- Add Flavoring: Finally, incorporate the Food Flavoring Concentrated Milk at your desired concentration (start with 0.1% and increase up to 0.3% if a stronger aroma is desired). Mix gently but thoroughly until the fragrance is fully incorporated.
- Packaging: Transfer the finished lotion into clean, sterilized jars or pump bottles.
Recommendations for Application:
- Dosage: The recommended dosage for Food Flavoring Concentrated Milk in cosmetic products is 0.1-0.3% of the total product weight. Always start with the lowest recommended amount and incrementally increase until the desired aroma intensity is achieved.
- Testing: Before scaling up production, always conduct a small test batch to ensure compatibility with your specific formula and to evaluate the final scent profile.
- Storage: Store Food Flavoring Concentrated Milk in its tightly sealed original container, in a cool, dry, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Safety Precautions: Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes in its undiluted form. In case of eye contact, rinse thoroughly with plenty of water. Keep out of reach of children.
- Compatibility: Ensure compatibility with other ingredients in your formulation. While it is a food-grade flavoring, always perform compatibility tests when combining with new or unverified raw materials.
