Procedure:
1- Weight each phase separately in a beaker.
2- Heat phase A in a water bath at around 80 oC. This temperature is need for ascorbyl palmitate (Vitamin C). If you're working without ascorbyl palmitate, adapt the temperature to your wax with the highest melting point.
3- After phase A is fully melted stop heating and add phase B. Allantoin doesn't dissolve in phase B and you have to stir this phase before mixing the two phases to keep allantoin suspended.
4- Pour the blend in lip balm tubes and bring them into fridge (cap not closed)
5- After at least 12 hours remove from the fridge and close the cap.
