hi guys,
What a fantastic resource! This is my first post here so please be gentle
I am currently experimenting with my own lip balms, I use equally
1 part beeswax
1 part Cocoa/Sheabutter
1 part sweet almond oil
then add 0.5% essential oil or 2% flavour oil
im melting them together on my cooker.
My question(s) are:
If I add essential oil, at what tempreture should it be added at as the mixture cools so that it doesn't evapourate?
and if I add a flavour oil, at what tempreture should I add it to make sure it doesn't just sink to the bottom (I just had a vanilla disaster!)
and finally, what is the best temperature to pour into my pots at?
thanks for your time guys
Chris
