All Natural ‘G & T’ Flavour Oil and Lip Balms
Step up your making skills by handcrafting your own all natural bespoke flavour oil and using it as the star ingredient in 2 stunning ‘Gin & Tonic’ lip balms. Not only does this tutorial walk you through the entire process of making both the flavour oil and balms, but offers additional inspiration, tips, and tricks.
Despite the ‘G & T’ name, these balms are completely alcohol free.
So how is it possible to make an alcohol-free G & T balm? The secret is in the key ingredient: the flavour oil.
Being able to make your own scent and taste ‘from scratch’ gives you full control over every step of the process and enables you to create the exact depth of fragrance and flavour you prefer.
Handcrafting every component is quite simply the secret to success.
I’ve Done All the Trial and Error For You
Natural ingredients are an absolute joy but can in many respects also be a huge challenge to work with. If you’ve ever tried to make your own all natural botanical flavours, you may also have experienced some of the frustrations of getting the balance, strength, and staying power just right. Even though there may only be a few simple ingredients, it can take a lot of trial and error batches (and downright stubbornness) before achieving success.
This particular flavour oil has taken me about 3 years of various experiments and batches until I could finally say I was happy with it.
Now, I’m ready to share it with you.
This tutorial shows you my winning combination of methods and materials to achieve a lasting, all-natural fragrance and taste. In short, it lets you skip right past the frustrating part and go straight to the fun part.
Another bonus: this particular flavour and fragrance is appealing to both men and women.
Work Like a Pro with Beginner-Friendly Tools and Methods
The entire making process is described in a beginner-friendly, step-by-step fashion. Even though you’ll be employing a few advanced techniques, you don’t need to be an expert to get a successful result.
And you won’t need any pricey equipment to make these formulas either.
Tutorial Features
Apart from a detailed, richly illustrated step-by-step instruction on making the flavour oil, this tutorial includes 2 formula versions - lip balm featuring beeswax and a vegan lip balm featuring only plant based waxes.
You’ll also find a full ingredients list for both flavour oil and formulas as well as a comprehensive list with links to suppliers around the globe.
I’ve also included my best tips for customising and tweaking the star ingredient to your preference.
