Stevia Powder
All Natural Stevia Extract Powder with Maltodextrin sweetener. Packaged in portion-sized sugar sized packets to ensure prevention of any type of contamination. Gluten Free.
Sweetening your lip balm: Natures Garden has tested numerous sweeteners for lip balms. We have found that a powdered stevia extract with maltodextrin works the best. Simply add a very small amount of powdered stevia with maltodextrin to your flavoring, and add to your melted lip balm base. The maltodextrin was added to the stevia extract powder to help the sweetener flow better in lip balm or edible products; reducing the gritty feeling that you experience with plain stevia extract powder. Maltodextrin is a food grade product made from the sugars of grain. Both stevia and maltodextrin are all natural products.
*Note: Since stevia is a natural plant material, it will have polarity (water loving characteristics). Anytime you add a polar product to non-polar product (lip balm base made with 100% oil loving characteristics), the products will not dissolve; only disperse. The addition of maltodextrin allows the stevia to disperse better in lip balm bases, but it will not completely dissolve.*

I purchased this product as well, i too like most of you found it gritty. The interesting thing is the balms made with this product are really moisturizing and sink into the lips.
The second batch of the same balm i made without the stevia - sits on top of your lips and they still feel dry underneath.
I wonder is this because of the gentle abrasive action helping the oils sink in a wee bit further.
Today i experimented using a mortar and pestle and crunched it up really finely i put both crushed and uncrushed into a wee bit of oil to compare. The uncrushed is definately a lot more course, the fine power is still slightly gritty i think passable. I also think may be as it finer it doesnt appear to be sinking to the bottom quite as much

I use this in my lip scrubs and it is perfect. My customers buy me out on my Etsy store, I can't keep up with the demand.

Do not purchase this stuff! It will leave your lip balm VERY gritty, no matter what you do. I even tried crushing it with a spoon in a bowl to make it more of a powder. Still no good. Save yourself some time and money and do not purchase this!

I was very disappointed with this item!! it did not sweeten and the more I put the gritty it got at the bottom. waste of money for lip balm was great for bar soaps I like using sugar to leave a sweet taste on skin.. so I guess it wasn't a total waste

I was excited to make my first batch of lipgloss and I do not taste even the tiniest bit of sweetness. I'm disappointed in this product.

Like the other reviews this did not work for us either. It clumped at the bottom, and it did not sweeten the lip balm.

I love the actual balm itself but for the life of me I could not get a good sweetened flavor and I followed the directions. I almost have to say it is just scented and not flavored. I was a little disappointed in it...

The previous reviews are correct, it does seem to settle on the bottom of my balm mixture instead of blending, but so far I haven't noticed any grittiness in my finished balms. That being said, I wish there were more exact instructions included, such as the amount to use in relation to your balm base/mixture. So far I have not been able to find an amount that I am comfortable with using to really bring out the flavoring for fear of adding too much.

I made a few tubs of lip balm earlier with the Stevia. It did look like it would be gritty, but it wasn't. One problem I seemed to have was that the Stevia settled at the bottom and didn't flavour the lip balm much. I could have made a mistake when mixing it, though. It also seemed to crystallize around the sides, but a little bit of scraping did the trick for that.

I used this in the lip balm base. The lip balm page does explain that this disperses instead of disolve and thats true but its still great! A great price on a great product that works well! Even though it looked like it might be gritty in the final product it wasnt.
