I was super happy with the Beloved Orange Lip Balm that we did a little while ago that I started to wonder about mixing it with the Champagne Flavor Oil. So I made a test batch, and I fell in love! I think you will love it as much as […]
Apparently, my craving for coconut isn’t over yet. Maybe it is all the coconut milk ice bars I have been eating here in Beijing just to stay cool with the hot summer weather. Again, I dreamed of a formula using this yummy oil. I formulated this lip balm with some of our […]
I will be honest with you. I have been dying to play with our new Sea Buckthorn Oil. I really like the color and I wanted to see it in a lip balm. I have seen other get a red-orange color to their lip balm and I was green with […]
