Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased these to add to homemade lip balms I am making for Christmas gifts. I like the fact that I can customize each balm or set of balms for each person and that I can customize the ingredients per person (I have included the basic recipe below - but you can totally customize it) 1. The fragrance is really strong - which is a good thing because you use less product. 2. They taste fantastic - as part of the testing process I of course had to taste each and every one of these - some more than once - anything for science! 3. They blended well into other ingredients without separating 4. They did not change the color of the products being used - super important if you are making a tinted lip balm (as I did) Lip Balm Recipe 2 tbsp coconut oil 1 tbsp beeswax (grated) 1 tbsp shea butter 4 drops flavor oil 1/2 tsp mica powder for tint (optional) 1. Melt the coconut oil, shea butter, and beeswax in a double boiler (I use a metal bowl over a sauce pan) 2. Stir the mixture frequently until completely melted. 3. When melted, stir in mica powder and flavor oil (I did use a couple of drops of Vitamin E oil in some of these to make is more moisturizing) 4. Once completely blended, pour mixture into containers and allow to cool. Favorite Blend so far - Coconut and Pineapple - tastes like a Pina Coloda! Highly recommend these flavor oils for all of the reasons listed above.
