Note:
all the above measurements are subject to multiplication and division but make
sure it is done with a constant factor. (E.g. 100 grams of Turpentine oil divide by (2) = 50 grams. 80 grams
of Tincture of
capsicum
divide by (2) = 40 grams. If you get this wrong you will not produce a good air freshener
Method:
After
setting the heat system, place the clean metallic boiler on it. Add the stated
amount of petroleum jelly according to you own formulation.
Now heat for at least two (2) minutes and add the required amount of paraffin wax, stir very well for complete and add these homonegenization and
add the other chemicals at one (1) minute interval; methyl crystal (usually in
flakes form), methyl salicylate,
turpentine and eucalyptus oil
respectively with constant stirring. If you are using peppermint oil which is usually in liquid form, add it before
methyl salicylate, add tincture of
capsicum and finally add the camphor rectified.
Now
set apart little quantity of the mixture using a small container and allow
cooling to test for the desired texture, if it is very watery, add small
quantity of paraffin wax and continue heating till you get your desired
texture. You can now package it in your containers and begin your supply.
Note:
methyl crystal, methyl salicylate, tincture of capsicum, camphor rectified,
peppermint oil, turpentine and eucalyptus oil are all medically and
pharmacological active ingredient which helps in the relief of cold, back ache,
rheumatism, arthritis and other body weaknesses. Don’t forget to melt the wax
and the camphor rectified separately for accurate measurement of the required
quantity.
