Instructions for Preparation:
- Sanitization: Ensure all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, containers) is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.
- Melt Phase A: Combine beeswax, shea butter, coconut oil, and sweet almond oil in a heat-safe beaker. Gently heat using a double boiler or microwave on low power until all ingredients are completely melted and clear. Stir occasionally to ensure even melting.
- Cool Slightly: Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly for a minute or two. It should still be liquid, but not scalding hot.
- Add Phase B: Add Vitamin E oil and Food Flavoring Iris-Nut to the melted oil mixture. Stir well to ensure even distribution of the flavor. Start with 0.5% of the flavoring and add more if a stronger scent is desired, but do not exceed 0.6% to avoid potential skin irritation or overpowering scent.
- Pour into Containers: Carefully pour the liquid lip balm mixture into your desired lip balm tubes or small jars. Work quickly as the mixture will start to solidify as it cools.
- Cool and Set: Allow the lip balms to cool completely and solidify at room temperature for several hours or in the refrigerator for faster setting.
- Cap and Label: Once solid, cap your containers and label them.
Recommendations for Use:
- Dosage: For cosmetic applications, the recommended dosage for Food Flavoring Iris-Nut is typically 0.1% to 0.6% of the total product weight. Always start with the lower end of the range and gradually increase to achieve the desired aroma intensity. Overdosing can lead to an overpowering scent or, in rare cases, potential skin sensitivity.
- Patch Test: Before applying any new cosmetic product to a large area of skin, perform a small patch test on an inconspicuous area (e.g., inner forearm) to check for any allergic reactions or sensitivities.
- Storage: Store the Food Flavoring Iris-Nut in its original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Proper storage ensures its longevity and maintains its aromatic integrity.
- Compatibility: While universally soluble, always perform small-batch compatibility tests when incorporating this flavoring into new formulations to ensure it blends well with other ingredients and does not cause any undesirable separation or discoloration.
- Safety Data: Although it's a food-grade product, for professional cosmetic manufacturing, always consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) if available from Darom AS for complete handling and safety information.
