I think I’m in love! Citrus and spice is a fantastic flavor combination, and look what we just did – we mixed up the flavors of cinnamon, cloves, tangerine, gave it a bit of sweetness, then we poured it into a lip balm tube!

Introducing Spiced Tangerine Lip Balm! This is so good – the flavor is spot on excellent!
We love using our Lip Solutions bases as a jumping-off point when making lip balm. Tangerine Lip Solutions is the newest addition to the line-up, featuring the fresh and tangy flavor and aroma of tangerines. For this lip balm, we’ll add some essential oils and a bit of Sugar Baby Flavor Oil.
This lip balm would make beautiful gifts for the upcoming holidays, or you could add it to your offerings at the multitude of craft fairs and bazaars this time of year.

NOTES:
This lip balm made me think of wassail made with orange juice added to the traditional apple juice. The spices and the tangerine flavor are delicious together, and Sugar Baby Flavor Oil adds just the right touch of sweetness.
Guess what I learned? Modern wassail is made with orange juice! Apparently, I’m not the first to come up with the idea.
