Type: 100% natural ripe, very juicy, our coconut flavor is a must! This flavor is oil-soluble and unsweetened, and is perfect for use in lip balm, lip gloss, or lipstick. It is made from natural flavor ingredients. Artificial whitening agents are often added to lip balm flavors to give a sweet taste, but this is not recommended. Usage: We recommend adding between 1 and 5% (200 to 1000 points per 33.3 ounces). Exceeding this amount may destabilize the bonds between the ingredients, causing the lip balm base to lose some of its smooth texture and may create a burning sensation when applied to the lips. Shelf life: The shelf life of lip balm flavors ranges from 3 months to a maximum of 12 months when stored under proper storage conditions.
