How much flavour oil to use in lip balm?

[AshleyR]

Is there a general rule about how much flavour oil to add to lip balm? I just got a whole bunch of new flavours in and am really excited to use them tonight. I just don't want to waste any!

TIA!

What brand is it? It makes a big difference. Some are highly concentrated & it takes drops. Some are already in a carrieroil so you must use quite a bit.

I got mine from Aquarius but there's no info on the website about how concentrated they are or how much to use.

start with 1% and see. with most, 2% is the max tho the ones from sweetcakes say you can go to 5% (don't)

The flavor oils at bittercreek are in an "all natural vegetable oil base." Suggested use rate is 4 - 6%. I use a lot when I use them, at least 6% but I know there is a lot of vegetable carrier oil in them.
