Sweetened Flavor Oil Help Needed Please

[dreamypleasures]

Hi Ladies & Gents,

I'm making lip balms now and haven't been really happy with the flavor oils I've tried from bittercreek and a candy company.

I'm looking for something that is already sweetened and has a great taste.

Any flavors are fine, I just need suppliers names please.

Thanks so much for your help.

As a rule, flavor oils are not sweetened. If you want sweet, you need to sweeten the lip balm base. I use stevia in coconut oil from Southern Soapers, but hurry to get it as they are closing their business.

FYI...flavor oils alone smell good, but taste awful. Do not judge a flavor by taste without putting in a base first. Then decide if you would like it sweetened. There is a theory that they are not really flavors, but food safe fragrance that the nose tricks the tongue into believing it is tasting it.

Yup, Bittercreek is unusual in the flavor oil game. The best flavors are unsweetened. Makes them cheaper in the long run and if you use a fool-proof sweetener like MMS Sugar Kisses, you can tweak the sweet just the way you like it!

Love MMS Sugar Kisses.

Thanks so much ladies. I found MMS. The oils are priced fine $3 and $4 but the shipping is $9.18. Crazy shipping costs.
