You could create a great lip gloss or lip balm by using our Lip Balm Base, mix in some Organic Broccoli Seed Oil, Organic Castor Oil, Organic Black Seed Oil, Olive Oil Eco Silicone, Organic Plum Seed Oil, then think about flavors like Vanilla Batter Flavor Oil or Cherry Flavor Oil to really play off the almond/marzipan.

Can organic plum seed oil be used in serums?

Yes! Both facial serums and hair serums. Organic plum seed oil can be used as a carrier oil in a 100% oil facial serum, or you can add it into an emulsified serum or an aloe gel based serum.

You can use our aloe gel base as a base for a serum. Simply add in your skincare actives (think Retinaldehyde or Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate Vitamin C), a blend of skincare specialty oils, some fabulous essential oils and you have an aloe based serum. Our aloe gel base is so thick you can really add a huge amount of other ingredients to it and it will still be pumpable. You will have to challenge test it to ensure the preservative system will withstand all those additions but it is pretty robust.
