Instructions for Preparation:
- Sanitize: Ensure all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, lip balm tubes/pots) is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.
- Melt Phase A: Combine Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Beeswax, and Carnauba Wax (if using) in a heat-resistant beaker. Gently heat the mixture using a double boiler or microwave on low power until all ingredients are fully melted and clear. Stir occasionally to ensure even melting.
- Add Colorant: Once completely melted, remove from heat. While still warm and liquid, carefully add the Green Apple Oil-Soluble Food Colorant. Start with a small amount (e.g., 0.1%) and stir thoroughly until the color is evenly dispersed and you achieve your desired shade. A little goes a long way!
- Add Phase B (Optional): If using, stir in Vitamin E Oil and Flavor Oil. Mix well to ensure they are fully incorporated.
- Pour: Carefully pour the hot liquid balm into your lip balm tubes or pots. Work quickly as the balm will begin to solidify as it cools.
- Cool: Allow the lip balms to cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Do not cap until fully solid to prevent condensation.
Recommendations for Use:
- Dye Concentration: The recommended usage rate for Green Apple Oil-Soluble Food Colorant in cosmetics is typically 0.1% to 0.5% of the total product weight. Always start with the lowest concentration and incrementally add more until the desired color intensity is achieved. Over-coloring can lead to an undesirable opaque appearance or potential transfer.
- Pre-Testing: Before scaling up, always perform a small test batch to ensure the color performs as expected within your specific formula and to verify stability and non-migration.
- Storage: Store the Green Apple Oil-Soluble Food Colorant in its original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, and dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, to maintain its stability and longevity.
- Safety Precautions: Although this is a food-grade colorant, it's concentrated. Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes in its undiluted form. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water. Keep out of reach of children.
- Compatibility: While designed for oil phases, always confirm compatibility with other unique ingredients in your formulation to prevent unexpected reactions.
