Orange Flavour (lip formulations)

Add a bright, cheerful citrus note to your lip care formulations with our Orange Flavour. This oil-soluble flavour is suitable for products that come into contact with the lips, such as lip balms, lipsticks and other lip care products. The supplier lists Orange Flavour as suitable for adding flavour/aroma to lip-contact products, and notes that it is supplied in a Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride base.

Orange Flavour is ideal for fresh, fruity and citrus-inspired cosmetic formulations where a sweet orange-style aroma is desired. It can be used in oil-based and anhydrous lip products such as lip balms, lip oils, lip glosses and lip treatments.

Please note: this flavour provides aroma/flavour character only and does not automatically add sweetness. If you would like the finished lip product to have a sweeter taste, pair it with a suitable lip-safe sweetener.

You may also find our Lip Balm Kit useful for customers who want to make their own lip balms, as the product page notes that flavour, mica or pigment can be added as optional extras.
