elle110 Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I would like to add a completely all natural but flavorful line to my lip balm selections, at the current time I have the Healing which has EO and the Chocolate Mint which has real chocolate and Peppermint EO, and those are all natural but I want to use some extracts to add more variety. Any suggestions? I have only seen water based extracts so far and as you know that will not work at allTIAElle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Most extracts I've seen are water or alcohol based. What you could do is use infused oils in your formula - then you could use chamomile and nettles and all sorts of other interesting herbs.

sarahlf Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Try here:http://www.theherbarie.comAngie has some great oil-based extracts. I'm actually working on a balm recipe using some of these extracts.I'm not sure if they're lip safe though.HTH,Sarah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadryga Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Ditto Robin's idea. I was about to suggest some vanilla infused oil. Honey or agave nectar are other options you could consider... maybe even some sweet orange, chamomile or lime eo?I checked out the oil-soluble extracts at Herbarie, there's an Oat CO2 Extract that looks particularly interesting to me though I'm not sure how you'd impart flavor from that.

elle110 Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 Thanks for all the replies, I have used hte Orange and Lime EO for flavors, but I want to do chocolate and like raspberry or Chocolate and Almond, here is one place that does it but I cannot for the life of me figure out what kind of extracts they could be usinghttp://www.ganacheforlips.com/I was given some of theirs lately and they do taste yummy, they use no flavor oils just extracts etc.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadryga Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 They've got a section that's "About Our Ingredients" actually, and from what I see, they use melted chocolate, cocoa absolute, raspberry extract, coffee extract (which looks to me like coffee absolute), bitter almond extract, vanilla infused oil, lemon eo, sweet orange eo and peppermint eo.I've never tried this place, but I found it a long time ago on a flavor oil search. They've got a section marked "Organic Flavors" and their organic oil-soluble flavors for chocolate look really interesting. Maybe you could take a look at that.http://www.naturesflavors.com/default.php?cPath=18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elle110 Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 I actually got on a candymaking site that has a place close to me, I am going to go check out their flavor oils, as least half of what I saw looks to be oil base.I will check out the other place mentioned above...
