Description and Characteristics

Our Food Flavoring Iris-Creamy is a carefully crafted liquid concentrate, designed to impart a rich, authentic toffee and creamy flavor profile. The aroma is distinctly creamy, reminiscent of a classic toffee candy, with a nuanced depth that hints at the delicate, powdery sweetness of iris. With a concentration of 17:40:00 (likely referring to an internal standard or ratio, indicating its potency), this flavoring is highly effective even in small quantities.

Cosmetic Recipe: Indulgent Iris-Creamy Lip Balm

Create a luxurious lip balm with a delightful toffee-cream scent, perfect for nourishing and protecting your lips.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Ensure all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, containers) is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.
2. Melt Phase A: Combine beeswax, shea butter, fractionated coconut oil, and sweet almond oil in a heat-resistant 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.
3. Cool Slightly: Remove the beaker from heat. Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes until it begins to thicken slightly but is still pourable. This helps prevent the flavoring from evaporating.
4. Add Phase B: Stir in the Food Flavoring Iris-Creamy and Vitamin E oil. Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavoring is evenly distributed throughout the balm base.
5. Pour into Containers: Carefully pour the melted lip balm mixture into your desired lip balm tubes or small jars.
6. Cool and Set: Allow the lip balms to cool completely at room temperature until they solidify. Do not place them in the refrigerator immediately, as this can lead to an uneven texture.
7. Labeling: Once solid, cap the containers and label your delightful "Indulgent Iris-Creamy Lip Balm."

Recommendations for Application:

• Dosage: For cosmetic applications, particularly in lip products, start with a low concentration of 0.1% to 1.5% for the Food Flavoring Iris-Creamy. The recipe above suggests 1-1.5%, which is a good starting point for a noticeable scent. Always conduct small batch tests to achieve your desired aroma intensity.
• Integration: Due to its liquid nature and the presence of propylene glycol, it blends well with oil-based and water-based formulations.
• Testing: Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin (e.g., inner forearm) before widespread use to ensure no allergic reactions or sensitivities occur.
• Storage: Store the Food Flavoring Iris-Creamy in its original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat to maintain its potency and aroma integrity.
• Safety: While this is a food-grade flavoring, avoid direct contact with eyes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water. Keep out of reach of children.
• Stability: The flavoring's stability during heating depends on the specific formulation. For best results, add it during the cool-down phase of your cosmetic recipe, as indicated in the lip balm recipe, to minimize heat exposure and preserve the aroma.

This recipe provides a foundation. Feel free to experiment with additional skin-loving ingredients like other nourishing oils or butters to customize your lip balm further!
