Manufacturing Process

Oil Phase

  1. Heat Castor Oil and Coconut Oil to 70°C with constant stirring.
  2. Add Soy Lecithin and mix until fully dissolved.

Additive Phase

  1. Carefully add Pine Rosin while maintaining temperature at 80°C.
  2. Ensure complete dissolution of Rosin into the oil mixture.

Final Processing

  1. Introduce Beeswax slowly, maintaining a homogenous mixture at 70-75°C.
  2. Incorporate Mineral Filler and ensure even dispersion.
  3. Cool the formulation to 40°C, transferring it immediately to containers to prevent premature setting.

Usage Instructions
