Cosmetic Recipe: "Tropical Banana Delight" Lip Balm

Create a deliciously scented lip balm that nourishes and protects, with the sweet aroma of banana.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Thoroughly clean and sanitize all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, lip balm tubes/tins) using isopropyl alcohol. Allow to air dry completely.
2. Melt Phase A: In a heat-safe beaker or double boiler, combine the shea butter, coconut oil, beeswax, and castor oil. Gently heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until all ingredients are fully melted and clear.
3. Cool Slightly: Remove the beaker from the heat. Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes (it should still be liquid, but not scalding hot). This helps prevent the flavor from evaporating.
4. Add Flavoring: Carefully add the Lithuanian Food Flavoring Banana to the melted oil mixture. Stir gently but thoroughly for about 1-2 minutes to ensure the flavor is evenly dispersed.
5. Pour into Containers: Immediately and carefully pour the liquid lip balm mixture into your clean lip balm tubes or tins. Work quickly as the balm will start to solidify as it cools.
6. Cool Completely: Allow the lip balms to cool completely and solidify at room temperature for several hours, or you can place them in the refrigerator for faster setting (about 30-60 minutes).
7. Cap & Label: Once fully solid, cap the lip balm containers. Label your product with the name and ingredients.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Dosage: For lip products, a concentration of 0.2% to 1% of the Lithuanian Food Flavoring Banana is generally sufficient to impart a pleasant aroma and taste without being overpowering. Always start with a lower percentage and adjust to your preference.
• Temperature Sensitivity: While the flavoring is thermostable, it's best to add it when the main cosmetic base (like the melted oils for lip balm) has cooled slightly but is still liquid. This minimizes any potential loss of volatile aromatic compounds.
• Sensory Testing: Before making a large batch, create a small test batch to evaluate the aroma, taste, and overall feel of the product. This ensures the banana flavor integrates well with your formula.
• Storage: Store the finished lip balm in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its consistency and aroma.
• Safety: Always ensure that any food-grade flavoring used in cosmetic products is applied within safe cosmetic guidelines and that the final product is tested for stability and safety. Avoid using non-food-grade flavorings in products that may be ingested or come into contact with mucous membranes.
