ebcandles Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Has anyone tried Camden Grey's Flavor Oils? Which have you tried and were they any good? TIA, Carmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donna4909 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I never actually got around to putting them in lip balm, but from sniffing, my opinions:Orange juicy - Wonderful! It smells exactly like a fresh orange. Merry strawberry - sweet, but more of a candy strawberry smell. Since I don't really like a straight strawberry scent, I think it's perfect.Green apple, cotton candy, & grape - these have a bit of a medicine-y smell to them. That may go away after you put them in some base though.Buttercream - delightful! It smells exactly like a cake with frosting. Quite yummy! This was my favorite.Pear - excellent! Very crisp and clean, though it smells a little bit like the apple, but no medicine smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slate Mountain Scents Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 They smell good... I just bought flavors from donna4909.....I will let you know once i get them done, hopefully by the weekend.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Any new news on these? I'm thinking of ordering a few. Cotton candy (which Donna said might be better in a product), coconut, buttercream, and a few others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 OK, I ordered anyway:Butter CreamCoconutCotton CandyMangoBut..... the coconut says "food only, not for cosmetics". Anybody know a reason I couldn't use that in lip balm or a body oil? Is it more likely to go rancid or something? If so, I'll just have to make tiny batches to use up quick (I don't retail so this isn't a problem for me).Darbla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecandlespastore Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I have a few of their flavors, I love the buttercream. Southern Soapers has awesome flavor oils as well.As for why you can't use the coconut for cosmetics...I think you should probably call and ask them.

Darbla Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 The Camden Grey site gives no indication how much of these to use in a product. So you guys with experience with these, how much should I use? I touched a tiny bit of 'Mango' to my finger and licked my finger, and it was terrible! Probably too much. I'm trying flavored massage oil right now with fractionated coconut oil.Edit: the sweetener is what I'm missing. I know liquid stevia would work in lip balms but would it be sticky or anything for edible massage oils? I did a search for 'sweetener' and 'massage' and found one post that didn't help.

Darbla Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Think I found my answer: vegetable glycerin. There's a recipe at Snowdrift Farms that recommends it as a sweetener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
