You use floral wax by melting it gently and adding it to the liquid phase of your formulation.
Using Floral Waxes: A Simple Guide
Floral waxes offer a wonderful alternative to pure essential oils. They share similar plant properties and benefits but are typically more cost-effective. Incorporating them into your creations is a straightforward process, especially when adding them to liquid formulations.
The Process: Incorporating Floral Wax
Based on standard usage practices as highlighted in the reference, the primary method for using floral wax in a liquid base involves gentle heating and blending.
Here are the steps:
- Melt Gently: Melt them at a low temperature just until liquid. Avoid high heat to preserve their delicate properties.
- Combine: Add to your liquid phase once the wax is melted.
- Specify Concentration: Use the floral wax at a concentration of 1-10% of your total liquid phase weight.
- Proceed: After adding and ensuring it's well-incorporated, then proceed as normal with the rest of your formulation steps (e.g., cooling, adding other ingredients).
This method is suitable for various applications where a liquid phase is involved, allowing the beneficial plant properties of the floral wax to be distributed throughout the final product.
