Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Hi all, I'm getting ready to make lip balm but I was wondering... I use LorAnn oils to flavor my chocolate spooons, can I use this same oil to flavor Lip Balm? Thanks, Patty Be Vibrant at Any Age! http://www.shaklee.net/pattydooley/prodHB_Home Web pic's starting at $1.00 http://www.fotolia.com/partner/23035 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Most Flavor Oils aren't sweetened. And because of this, " Flavor " oil is kind of a misnomer. It's labeled as a flavor oil because that means it's approved for use in lip products. I don't sweeten any of my lip balms because it encourages people to lick their lips, which makes the lip balms not only ineffective, but will cause the user's lips to become even more chapped. There are many out there that sweeten their lip balms, and from conversations I've witnessed over the years, many more that don't sweeten them. It's really a personal decision. I sell thousands of lip balms a year. I even just started selling lip balm bases, and will soon be bringing in lip balm flavor oils, and none of them are pre-sweetened. Now if your oils came marked as " fragrance oils " and not " flavor oils " , then do NOT use them in lip balms. They may be skin safe, but skin safe doesn't mean lip safe. If you're unsure in any way, contact the manufacturer. It's possible they sent you the wrong thing. If they didn't, then they need to work on their website if this kind of a mistake is happening. Have fun making the lip balms! I've got several hundred peppermint ones to make tonight!

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 I don't thin you should use a fragrance oil in place of a flavor oil unless you know it's lip safe. No you don't have to add sweeteners to flavor oils even if they aren't sweetened. With kids I think it's enjoyed but you don't have to add the sweetener. But anyway, I'd check to see if that fragrance oil is lip safe before using it and especially selling it. KimG _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of siren1068 I recently ordered a few flavor oils for lip balms. I must have made a mistake entering the order, because one of the oils is actually a fragrance oil. I have made lip balms with essential oils (peppermint) and they came out wonderful; but not with FO. Would I need to add a sweetner to a fragrance oil? Do you always need a sweetner with a flavor oil - I used it yesterday (bubble gum balms) becuase it enhanced the bubble gum flavor oil, and kids like that intense flavor. I am interested in others opinions - thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I made a lip balm once with peppermint EO and GSE as a naturaal preservative. Over time, It made my lips VERY dry, and formed a scab kind of on my lips. Has anyone had that experience? I thought maybe it was too much Peppermint EO but I tried making one with MUCH less and I got the same reaction. Any suggestions?

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Thanks Ivana, It's supposed to be 100% EOs so let me check the packaging again or buy from another vendor and try it again.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 I have to agree Peppermint E.O. is softening to the lips.And maybe you contaminated ,your other balm, and reintroduced back to your lips.That's why I like pots better,just no Double Dipping.Lavender E.O. is another one to add,it helps with buggies spreading ,it is anti fungal and anti bacterial.HTH Omi -- ¤³´`*:»§«:*´`³¤³´`*:» Laissez les bon temps rouler (let the good times roll) Happy Mardi Gras Hau'oli Makahiki Hou :*´`³¤³´`*:»§«:*´`³¤³´`*:»§«:*´`³¤³´`*:»§«:*´`³ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Hello, We use pots too, stainless steel canisters to be exact. The product is already great but then to highlight it and make it more special in a pot is better I think. A tube is just a run of the mill kinda thing that we see at every checkout stand in every supermarket etc., Here's our version: http://sensatia.com/face/essentials/lip_protection.php though we are still waiting for our canisters to be produced in Java. Our old producer changed the size on us, talk about making me crazy. So in the end I decided to " print " my own, and it was reasonably cheap (8x cheaper than my old supplier) and of better quality, so in the end it seems someone is watching over us! hahaha. Good luck! Keep the pot. Have a great day, R. Lorenti Jr. mlorenti@... www.sensatia.com On Feb 15, 2007, at 6:37 AM, trishsmecca wrote: > Hi Omi, > what a great thought!
