Staff Answer This is up to you yo test.

Staff Answer Yes, you can do this. If you don't want to use Camelina Oil, for example, try adding half or .40 oz. apricot kernel. If the consistency seems too thick, you can add the remaining .40 oz.

Staff Answer If you do not want to use coffee butter, you can substitute with another butter blend or use all shea butter in the recipe.

Staff Answer You could substitute any oil you wish. We might recommend aloe, meadowfoam seed, safflower or sweet almond.

Staff Answer You would need to test this substitution but this should be fine to do. Let us know how this works for you - it's a great idea.

Staff Answer Yes, that would be fine. If using the raw sugar, the crystals are larger so you might want to use a little less than the recipe states so it is not too abrasive.

Staff Answer We have not tested this without the sugar, but the ingredients can be used to moisturize lips. It will be more like a lip butter (much softer) versus a lip balm. You could try incorporating some beeswax into it to make it a firmer lip balm.

Staff Answer Hi Katie,
Our sweetened flavor oils are FDA approved for contact consumption meaning it can be licked off of the lip, but it is not acceptable for food consumption.

Staff Answer Yes, you could use a preservative if you choose. How much you add will depend on the usage rates for the preservative you choose. Don't forget to check that the preservative you choose is safe for use in a lip product.

Staff Answer Yes, you can substitute any other carrier oil for the camelina oil in this recipe. We recommend testing all substitutions in a small batch before making a larger batch for retail. If selling, you would need to change the INCI ingredient listing to reflect any substitutions or changes to our original recipe.

Staff Answer This lip scrub maintains its light fluffy texture.
