I recently purchased "Prada Candy Oil". I like it a lot, but am wondering if you use an nut-based oils? Slight reaction.

My son has severe nut allergies so I was worried about coming in contact with him with this product. I contacted Serina's Bow Tiq customer support and was given this response "Our oils are natural highly-concentrated and fragrant liquid extracted from plants with soybean oil base. Our natural fragrance oils are a blend of essential oils, resins and natural aromatic ingredients. They are free of any synthetics such as phthalates, parabens, sulfates, glycols, petrochemicals, or other solvents. Yes, cruelty free, not tested on animals."

I like the oil but I am unsure if it has an nut base mainly because I am a consumer just like you. But I hope you find someone who knows more about the answer you need.

It seems to me to smell like almond oil, even though I don't think there's any almond oil in it. At first I thought it was going rancid, but as I was using it I realized it smelled more like a vegetable type oil, and because I'm not used to lotions smelling like that, it's probably the reason I thought it was a little "off".

I have used Jojoba oil, almond oil, and olive oil. Olive oil has a stronger smell though, so I would use another .

This is an oil, a very strong oil. I'm not sure you would want to use this for your cinnamon candy due to its intensity. It is a pure oil so I'm not too familiar with using it flavor anything besides toothpicks. If you decide to use it, be very careful with the amount you use. Whatever you do, don't lick your fingers or touch your eyes when working with this oil. It is painful, trust me.You might want to buy some just to keep in your spice cabinet. You never know when you might want some great toothpicks or melt some plastic.

I recently attended a Young Living party and the sales lady recommended SWEET ALMOND OIL. I mix my oils with my facial moisturizer, which she also recommended and it works great.

The NOW Foods organic oil is very good. I have not used the Josie Maran brand.

I like Peanut oil it is the best, but any cooking oil will work. We also use popcorn butter seasoning salt.

Hi Deborah! I am not familiar with the Barbary Fig Oil (and never tried it). So, I can't give you an advice on that. However, I find this argan oil very hydrating w/o feeling sticky. BTW, I have dry skin (especially during the winter). It also has help erase some acne spots that I had before. Good Luck find out if you want to try/use fig oil!

I just emailed them and this is their response: 100% Pure Peppermint oil. Food grade. Considered Therapeutic grade by many companies. Top quality Peppermint and other Essential oils such as this are very popular in cooking & baking applications among others particularly during the holiday season so in that way are fine for internal use and when properly diluted external use as well. But due to their powerful pure undiluted nature they can be irritating or toxic if not used at appropriate levels and dilutions. A few drops of peppermint oil in a glass of drinking water or a small amount of topical lotion is much too powerful for example. One needs to often think of distributing fractions of a drop with a carrier oils like olive oil, coconut oil or almond oil. Very little is required in most recipes. Always follow recipes or protocols strictly.

Did you use the max of 5 pounds of chocolate? Or did you refill? Curious to how long it will last with a large crowd like yours. I'm thinking about splurging for Chocoley's Just Melt It! No oil required! :] Thanks, Leslie

It is like most oils, but kind of sweet, has its own smell like an essential oil. I don't dislike it, but if you can't stomach something like coconut oil, I don't recommend it. It is noticeable in my coffee and I stopped using it that way. Might be better to squeeze it into your mouth and take it straight. Or in something fruity like a smoothie.

Check out Young Living web site, but all their products are of high grade quality, you can even eat them. The specifics, I'm not sure of. If you check the web site, they list all the details of each oil.

Yes, that's all I use in it and I'm very happy. I've ordered 2 more. Young Living is the only oil I use. Have a great day!

Yes I have. I make almond butter. I takes a lot longer without oil, so the second time I uses a little almond oil and it was much better. The third time I made it I used a little almond oil and a little melted coconut oil. omg! it is GREAT.

As for "safety," pumpkin seed oil has been consumed for years as a salad oil, if it were poisonous we would "certainly know by now. As for "effectiveness," you didn't say for what . . . regardless, you can do Google search just as well as I can. So don't be lazy, and do your own search.

look for peppermint oil in the grocery section or where they have candy making supplies. You can indeed use extracted oil in food...it is stronger than "extract" which is often suspended in a carrier like alcohol. Things like peppermint, spearmint, citrus, and anise are pretty common ones. Candy canes and peppermint patties are made with peppermint oil. I would ~suppose~ natural mint essential oils should be safe, but the processing/packaging may be different for different applications, so I would personally stick to food grade products sold specifically for that application. I think the LorAnn brand here is sold for cooking. look for peppermint oil in the grocery section or where they have candy making supplies.
