How to make food flavoring at home

Step-by-step instructions on how to make your own supplements

How to make a slime brighter - with a dye. You can use natural ingredients for slimes at home, for this you need the juice of carrots, beets, etc. These dyes are the safest for young children, but they leave marks. You can use gouache, watercolor, or food coloring.

Work algorithm:

1. Warm water is poured into a deep container.
2. A couple of drops of paint are added.
3. Slime must be put in water for 2-3 minutes. As soon as it acquires color, it can be pulled out and kneaded well.

Making slime supplements at home is easy using any foil (you can buy it at any stationery store at an affordable price):

1. The foil is cut into small pieces.
2. Slime stretches well.
3. A small pile of foil is placed in the middle of the slime.
4. The slime must be well crumpled and stretched, distributing the foil throughout the anti-stress.

Glitter can be used as an additive, such a filler is suitable for sticky slimes. It is best to wear an apron and gloves before you start adding glitter:

1. Slime stretches well and stretches, it should be warm.
2. A small amount of glitter is poured into a plate or onto a piece of paper.
3. Slime simply runs over the glitter, absorbing it, and then kneads it well.

There is no better way to make a slime more colorful than using glitter or rhinestones. You can use any - for nails, makeup, etc. Such fillers do not get dirty and will delight the child:

1. The right amount of rhinestones is poured onto a piece of paper.
2. Antistress is carried out over rhinestones, collecting them.
3. After a good warm-up of the slime, all the shiny components will be inside.

It is easy to make supplements, it does not take much time; these fillers will look best on homemade slimes.

In order for the slime to delight with its beauty as long as possible, it is necessary to properly care for it. Once a week, the slime should be “fed” with water and salt. You can only store it in a closed container and do not forget it in the sun or frost. Do not leave it on the carpet or sofa - many slimes are sticky and can "inherit". If the slime becomes tough, you can soften it with any thick cream. Shaving foam will help make the toy more airy and more enjoyable.

When mold appears on the slime, or it begins to smell strange, the toy must be thrown away. If the slime is often played, it can lose its shape and decrease in size.

And here is more about how to make a glossy slime.

Decorative balls, glitters and pigments do not change the consistency of the slime base, but make it more attractive

And yet, in their use, it is important to know when to stop. After all, a gloomy ugly shade can come out of mixing several colors.

And the abundance of beads, foam and other small or large parts will lead to the fact that the slime itself will not be visible.

What can be replaced?

It is permissible to use an air freshener instead of food fragrances. This agent is included in the composition as a full-fledged active ingredient, and not in the form of an additive. As a result, a rich smell may appear, so you should purchase a freshener with a non-corrosive scent.

In addition, perfume can be substituted for food fragrances. There are recipes based on this component. Perfume can act not only as a flavoring agent, but also as a thickener when combined with certain components.

For this reason, you need to use such a tool with caution.

The most preferred is a special flavoring agent - an American slime additive. This is a special product that has been developed for the manufacture of slimes. Available in liquid form (in bottles of 10 and 100 ml). This amount will be enough for a long time. The advantage of this tool is its ease of use. In addition, flavors are available in different scents. This allows you to make slime not only with the aroma of sweets, but also a nut mass, with the aroma of ice cream, vanilla, etc.

Russian manufacturers of fragrances and fragrances

There are a large number of manufacturers and suppliers of flavorings in Russia. They are lower in cost than their American counterparts. To be honest, some of the smells practically do not differ - this applies to fruit and berry aromas. The same banana or peach for all brands smells the same in my opinion. Fragrances with several notes lose - they are either harsher, or, conversely, too weak and slightly unpleasant.
Perfume smells are definitely in the firebox: after a few minutes my head starts to ache from them.
Inexpensive scents from the Ukrainian brand “Roskosmetika”. Their fragrances are often purchased for soap making purposes. They sell food flavors on the website
I liked: marmalade, ice cream, candy, fruit (apple, citrus).
Baltic food company
I took several scents from Kemaklab - they were not particularly impressed, but I would not call them bad either.
If you want to personally choose, then in each city there are small shops or departments selling soap and ingredients for it. they sell both synthetic and food flavorings in small bottles.

What flavors are suitable for making slimes and slimes?

In general, flavors can be food or cosmetic (perfume). There are also fragrances for household chemicals, automobiles, attachments, etc. In contrast to safe food products for cosmetics and household chemicals, they are more aggressive in their composition. Therefore, for the sake of safety, we recommend using food grade. So you do not run the risk of facing possible allergic reactions, because the skin on your hands can be very sensitive to the chemical ingredients in the fragrance preparation.
By consistency, aromatic substances can be presented in a liquid, dry or gel-like state. For slimes, liquid is more convenient to use.
As long as the flavoring is enough. Storage term and conditions
One drop of concentrated food flavoring is quite enough for the manufacture of one flavored slime with a volume of 50 ml - this is 0.05 ml.
If the volume of the jar with slime exceeds 200 ml, then the amount of perfume should be increased to 10 drops (approximately 0.5 ml).
For the sample, we recommend taking the smallest bottle, as a rule, it is 10 ml.1 ml of perfume will be used to make almost 500 ml of slime. Thus, 10 ml of flavor is enough for almost 5 kg of slime.
If the smell is weak, then the number of drops in the mass should be increased.
Store bottles with food flavorings tightly closed, protected from light and away from food. I personally put my jars in a drawer on the balcony (it’s not cold there). The shelf life should be written on the package. On average, this is a year, but I have fragrances that are already 2 or even 3 years old, but I continue to use them for my own needs. Although I don't recommend it).

American Slime Flavors

One of the most famous American fragrances in our country is TPA. TPA is an abbreviated original title from The Perfumer's Apprentice. I love them for their good quality and reasonable price.
This manufacturer has the widest range of fragrances. For homemade slimes, you can use the following tastes (I personally tried some of them, some are just planning):
Caramel Candy Flavor - sweet caramel.
Cheesecake (Graham Crust) - very tasty smell, I definitely recommend it.
Citrus Punch Flavor - Strong citrus notes.
Cola Cherry Flavor - more like a cherry than a cola.
Cubano Type Flavor - the smell of expensive tobacco. It is used for vaping, but I tried to add it to the slime, I liked the result).
Apple Candy Flavor is a sweet apple. Suitable for red, green slime flowers.
Blackberry Flavor Delicious blackberry flavor. Five points!
Bubblegum Flavor is the very scent of everyone's favorite gum.
Double Chocolate (Dark) Flavor - the smell of dark real chocolate, mmm!
Earl Gray Tea Flavor - faint smell, didn't like it.
Espresso Flavor is a bright, strong aroma of real coffee.
French Vanilla Creme - Vanilla, but softer.
Frosted Donut Flavor - Haven't tried it, has yet to be tested.
Fruit Circles With Milk Flavor - smells like a summer garden, I liked the scent.
Grape Candy Flavor is like grape candy.
Green Apple Flavor - a fragrant green apple, reminiscent of Orbit gum with apple flavor.
Hazelnut Flavor - Medium nutty aroma. On the "C".
Honeydew II Flavor is a sweet melon. very pronounced aroma. Just like a hole in August.
Key Lime Flavor - not impressed.
Kiwi (Double) Flavor. Kiwi that you really want to try.
Lemon Lime Flavor - pure lime.
Lychee Flavor - I haven't tried it, but I really want to.
Mary Jane Flavor - disliked, very annoying.
Mojito Flavor - if you want to impress your friends with the taste of mojito.
Peanut Butter Flavor - Peanut butter, good smell.
Peppermint Flavor is as fresh as candy or gum.
Ripe Banana Flavor - I didn't like it, but I don't really appreciate banana flavor.
Spearmint Flavor is a powerful mint flavor. Even the nose pierces during a runny nose.
Strawberry (Ripe) Flavor - very, very tasty. To make a strawberry from a slime with this smell - no one can tell from a real one.
Sweet Cream Flavor is quite normal.
Tutti-Frutti Flavor - awesome flavor, I advise!
Vanilla (Bourbon) Flavor - delicious vanilla.
Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Flavor - vanilla ice cream. Very mild aroma.
Vanilla Cupcake - vanilla cupcake, what could be better?
Watermelon Flavor- juicy watermelon.
If you are afraid of counterfeiting, then American flavors can be ordered. Delivery, however, comes out a little expensive, but the result will definitely please.
You need to choose a concentrate so that it lasts for a long time. They have a very strong smell.
Through trial and error, we have selected the tastiest scents for slimes. Directly on our website, you can order superb sets of flavorings for slimes with home delivery.
Another good brand is LorAnn. I tried several options - apple, cocoa, vanilla, chocolate and peach. I liked all the flavors

They are persistent, one drop in the slime is enough and the smell will last for a very long time.
From my own experience, I will say that the most important thing when working with slime and these flavors (as well as with any others) is to protect the skin. It is advisable to work with gloves, because concentrated fragrances are very persistent

the smell lasts up to several days on the skin. It is very unpleasant to eat or drink afterwards with such “fragrant” hands.

Tips & Tricks

In order for the slime to delight with originality and beauty as long as possible, you should carefully consider the recommendations:

• The slime should be stored in a separate container with a tight-fitting lid. Preferably in the refrigerator. It is required to avoid direct sunlight and keep the container away from heating appliances.
• To restore the elasticity of the toy, sodium tetraborate is purchased at the pharmacy. A couple of drops of the substance will instantly solve the problem.
• You can soften the toy with glycerin, hand cream, baby oil, or heat.
• Frequent use of the slime can lead to "drying out" - a decrease in the original size. A solution to the problem is a pinch of salt. After adding salt, the slime is thoroughly mixed. It is also recommended to periodically add some liquid to the container with the toy. This will maintain the required liquid level in the product. After adding any "saving" element, the slime must be thoroughly kneaded.

Decorating a toy is a creative process that is limited only by the flight of the creator's imagination. The basis for success is a desire for experimentation. You can try to combine different ways of decoration, creating unique toys that have no analogues.

Instructions for making a fragrance at home

You can make your own slime perfume. For this, food products are used.

Moreover, it is important to use components that exude a strong enough odor. Some aromas appear when heated, they can also be used

As a result, a smell will be heard when the components are mixed. A simple recipe for making lizun odorants:

1. Prepare the lollipops. This is the most affordable and easy way to flavor slime. You will need hot water to make the fragrance. Lollipops can be dissolved in this way.
2. Water is heated in an arbitrary amount, it should boil.
3. You will need a glass container. Lollipops are put in it, while the rule applies: the more, the better. The amount depends on the intensity of the aroma. Sometimes 1-2 candies are enough.
4. You need to pour boiling water over the lollipops. It remains to wait until they dissolve (1-2 hours). The intensity of the odor also depends on the amount of water in the container. If you dissolve a lot of sweets in a minimal volume of liquid, you get a viscous substance, due to which the slime will not thicken. For this reason, it is recommended to use a medium amount of water. Then the solution will be liquid, transparent and at the same time fragrant.

The substance must be stored in a closed container. For the solution to retain its properties longer, it is placed in a refrigerator. It should be borne in mind that colored candies color the water. If you plan to make a transparent slime, you need to use colorless candies. In order to obtain a sufficiently intense flavor, it is advisable to choose the right candies.They can be used to prepare fragrances if a strong aroma is heard when unfolding the wrapper.

What is needed to make a flavoring agent?

When choosing a substance to improve the smell of slime, various options are considered:

• synthetic;
• natural.

The first group includes compounds that are used in the production of household chemicals, automotive and household products. Products based on them are distinguished by their aggressive action. For this reason, it is not necessary to use substances of this type in the domestic environment. Contact with such components increases the risk of developing an allergic reaction. Moreover, negative manifestations occur even in the absence of hypersensitivity, a tendency to allergies. This is due to the aggressiveness of aromatic additives, the release of toxic volatile components.

A separate group is represented by cosmetic fragrances of a synthetic nature.They are used in the production of creams, perfumes, lotions and other products that are intended for skin and hair care. This means that in terms of the degree of safety, such substances are superior to the above considered analogs.

The disadvantage of this option is the high cost. However, the consumption of cosmetic fragrances is low, so a small amount of the substance will last for a long time. In addition, the compositions of this group are concentrated. To obtain a rich smell, a minimum amount of the substance is added.

Food additives are distinguished by a safe composition, the absence of toxic volatile components. Such substances are even used to make slimes for children. You can buy this type of product in different forms: gel, powder, solution. When slime is made, it is recommended to use the substance in liquid form. It is easier to stir; when this component is introduced into the mixture, lumps are not formed.

When choosing a food flavor, there are a number of criteria to consider:

• composition: the product should contain natural or as close as possible to them components, and the ingredients should not be allergic;
• the volume of the bottle: it should be borne in mind that for the preparation of a small slime, no more than 1 drop of flavor is used, if the volume of the slime reaches 200 ml, up to 10 drops of perfume can be added to the composition;
• product brand.

The flavor is added during the slime preparation stage, then the substance is evenly distributed. If, after thickening the material, it is found that the odor is not strong enough, you can add a small amount of a means to enhance the aroma. However, in this case, the perfume is more concentrated on one of the parts of the slime more than on the rest of the surface.

What is the flavor in the slime for?

Slimes have recently become one of the most beloved children's toys. The variety of shapes, colors and textures makes them interesting for boys and girls of all ages. Slime can be bought ready-made, or you can make it with a child. This is a great pastime that brings parents and children closer together, promotes the development of motor skills and creativity in toddlers.

By themselves, the compositions for the production of toys have either a neutral or often even not very pleasant smell. Therefore, along with a bright color, manufacturers are trying to give the slime a pleasant smell.

As in industrial production, at home you want to make your toy more aromatic.

What it is?

The main property of each slime is its ability to stretch and wrinkle. The zest of the toy is given by the activator included in its composition or simply a thickener. By adjusting the amount of this component, you can achieve different thicknesses.

Composition

The first thickener that has always been used when mixing slime is sodium tetraborate. It contains a boric acid or borax salt, which allows the base to become thicker.

Important! Borax is a toxic substance that accumulates in the body with frequent contact with the skin. It can cause allergies in the form of rashes or digestive upset.

When using sodium tetraborate, protect your hands and do not inhale the vapors that are released during the reaction.

What are the additives for slimes?

Slime additives can be different, they can be called glitters, balls, glitter or foam. Any additive will make the slime look much more interesting and pleasant. You can use edible slime ingredients like marshmallows or popcorn - these slime additives look a little odd, but everyone will want to play with this anti-stress right away. Children love to come up with names for their toys, and with this slime they will play every day.

Most people prefer to use foam balls, beads, sprinkles, etc. American slime is sold with interesting additives, but finding one is much more difficult than simple one.

Parents, worrying, often ask what dangerous additives are - such as soda, glass, large beads.

Decorations can also be made by hand, it does not take much time, and the child will be happy.
