Guest guest Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 Hi Deb, I think it depends on how sensitive a person is to these items. I personally cannot use anything on my lips except balm that has been infused with vanilla beans and mint EOs. Anything else causes me to break out. I don't have an absolute answer on this, but can share my personal experience. I have used vanilla oleoresin in a lip balm and that broke my lips out as well.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Hi Deb I've never heard of a chocolate absolute. Chocolate is mostly made up of milk and sugar with some cocoa (if you're lucky!). So do you mean Cocoa absolute? I've never heard of an absolute being made from cocoa either. Vanilla absolute is available and that smells sort of like chocolate. Otherwise, as we've talked about before, infuse a fresh vanilla pod in one or other of your balm ingredients = vanilla 'flavour'. As for safety, Butch posted a great description of absolutes very recently and explained about the chemicals used to extract them. That may be why some people react to them. The lips are very delicate skin so maybe an infusion as suggested above would be gentler? Kind regards Jane - dking12924 Saturday, December 04, 2004 1:52 PM Second request....
