Next piece of plate is placed in a microwave oven at a temperature of 50-75 degrees to melt the wax. If there is a microwave oven, on the stove you can build a water bath: Put the pan on the fire with water and put it in a bowl with the ingredients. When the mass becomes liquid, stir it until smooth.

Let the mixture cool slightly, then add vitamin E (you can squeeze a few capsules or add 2-3 drops of butylki). Mix again. Until the mixture is beginning to freeze it should dial into the syringe and squeeze the selected containers (empty bottle from under lipstick or lip balm). Mixture solidifies at room temperature for several hours.
