ELEVEN WAYS TO USE LORANN OILS

Sharing is caring!

When I was growing up, my mom and I used LorAnn Oils to make hard candy at Christmas, which we would then give as gifts (my grandpa especially loved to keep a big jar on his desk).  It’s only been in the last few years that I learned there are so many more uses for their oils than just hard candy.  Then when I learned they were a Michigan-based company, I got even more excited.  LorAnn does make essential oils as well, but this round-up features ways to use LorAnn’s Super Strength Flavors.  Just look at all the ways to use LorAnn oils!

If you are interested in trying some of these fun DIYs, you can find LorAnn Oils in the baking section of your grocery store.  I like to buy mine from Amazon (affiliate link) because they have a huge selection of flavors and you can choose whatever combination of flavors you want.  I have ordered from them three times now, and they are really great.  If you try out any of these ideas, please share on social media and tag me.  I’d love to see!

SPA DIYS SCENTED WITH LORANN FLAVORING OILs

These oils not only taste good, they smell great too! I have used candy oils as one of my secret tricks to making DIY spa products for years! They are much more affordable than natural essential oils. Also, because they come in tiny dram bottles, you can purchase a pack of unique flavors to make spa products in a ton of different scents.

Bath bombs are all the rage right now. The hard-packed spheres are added to bath water to add oils, salts, fragrance, and delightful fizzies. You can buy high end bath bombs from a variety of sources, but they are simple (and much more affordable) to make yourself.

HOW TO MAKE FLAMINGO JELLY SOAP
I’ve been on a flamingo kick this summer. The trend continued when I found a silicone ice cube tray that makes cubes that look like flamingos! Of course, I never use those molds for ice cubes, so I decided to use this one to create some tropical flamingo jelly soaps that smell like hawaiian punch.

      I would imagine you could, but I would instead recommend one of LorAnn’s essential oils or fragrance oils instead.

      You definitely can! With any face products, you need to be extra careful that you aren’t going to have any kind of reaction to it. I would do a spot test on your skin in an inconspicuous place before applying it to your face.
