The Azlok 6 Lip Flavour Oil Sample Kit gives you six ready-to-use flavours in 10 ml bottles each — Watermelon, Cotton Candy, Bubble Gum, Strawberry, Chocolate and Vanilla — so you can flavour homemade lip balms, glosses, butters, scrubs and even baked treats without committing to a large bottle. It's a low-cost way to test which flavours you like before scaling up a batch, priced at around ₹599 for all six.
What you get in the kit
This is a sampler pack built for DIY makers who are still deciding on their signature range. Each bottle is a manageable 10 ml, which is plenty for many small batches.
- Watermelon — fresh and fruity, good for summer glosses.
- Cotton Candy — sweet and playful, popular for kids' balms and novelty products.
- Bubble Gum — nostalgic and bold.
- Strawberry — a reliable crowd-pleaser for balms and scrubs.
- Chocolate — warm and rich, pairs beautifully with cocoa butter.
- Vanilla — soft and versatile; blends well with almost anything.
Where you can use these flavour oils
These oils are made for flavouring, not for adding fragrance to skin-only products. Common uses include:
- Lip care: lip balm, lip butter, lip gloss, lip sparkle, tinted sticks and lip scrubs.
- Kitchen and confectionery: baking, candy-making, chocolates, frostings, beverages, juices and shakes.
Because they are flavour oils, they add taste rather than a strong aroma. If you want a balm that also smells like the flavour, you may need to pair with an appropriate scent, or accept a subtler fragrance.
How to use them in a lip balm
A simple lip balm base is beeswax, a butter such as shea or cocoa, and a carrier oil. Here's the general method:
- Melt your wax, butter and carrier oil together gently over a double boiler.
- Remove from heat and let it cool slightly, but keep it liquid.
- Add the flavour oil a few drops at a time, stirring and tasting on a cooled spoon.
- Pour into tubes or tins and let it set fully before capping.
Start small — usually well under 1% of the total batch weight — and build up. Flavour oils are concentrated, so a little goes a long way. Add them off the heat to preserve the flavour.
Tips and honest safety notes
- Add at the end. High heat can weaken flavour, so mix in once the base has cooled a bit.
- Dose lightly. Too much can taste artificial or leave a bitter edge. Test in a tiny trial batch first.
- Check your intended use. Use only food-grade flavourings for anything eaten. Confirm the grade suits your application before adding to edible products.
- Patch-test finished balms. Even flavour, in a new formula, can occasionally cause sensitivity. Do a small test before regular use.
- Keep away from children in the concentrated bottle form, and store out of reach.
- These are additives for finished products, not something to consume neat.
Buying and storage
Store the bottles tightly capped, away from direct sunlight and heat, ideally in a cool cupboard. Flavour oils are volatile, so a loose cap will let the aroma fade over time. Keep them upright to avoid leaks. Because you get six 10 ml bottles, this kit is ideal for hobbyists, small home businesses testing a product line, and anyone gifting handmade lip balms. You'll find it in Azlok's DIY Kits range alongside other candle- and soap-making supplies. Once you settle on your favourites, you can move to larger sizes for full production runs.
FAQ
How much flavour oil do I add to a lip balm?
Start with just a few drops per small batch, typically under 1% of the total weight, then adjust to taste. Different flavours have different strengths, so always trial a tiny batch first.
Are these flavour oils safe to eat?
Use them only in food-grade applications when confirmed suitable for that use. They are concentrated additives meant to flavour finished products like balms, candy or bakes — not to be consumed on their own.
Will the balm smell like the flavour too?
Flavour oils mainly add taste, so the aroma is usually subtle. If you want a strong matching scent, pair the flavour oil with a suitable fragrance in your formula.
Can I use these in candles or soap?
These are designed for lip care and edible applications. For candles and soaps, choose fragrance oils intended for those products, which Azlok also stocks.
How long do the flavour oils last?
Kept tightly sealed, away from heat and sunlight, they hold their character for a good while. If a bottle smells faint or off, it's time to replace it.
