INFUSED OILS LIBRARY

[Guest guest]

Hi all, Jody here,

I want to have -- and maintain -- a basic set of infused oils for use in

my soaps and lotions with the idea of by so doing I will be adding something

extra and beneficial to them. I make a several varities of lavender soaps

and lotions with mint coming in second.

The infused oil I see mentioned most often here seems to be heli, comfrey

and St. John's Wort. What others would you reccomend? And what base oil is

your favorite? I realize this is a horribly open-ended question but I need

to start somewhere... so any direction will be most appreciated.

TIA

Jody

Hi Jody,

 

I like to have infused calendula and arnica oils on hand at all times.

Vanilla can be nicely infused also.

 

I really like to use olive oil as a base oil - jojoba can be a good one

too - especially for that vanilla

 

Sorry that was a little short, but I've just done a whole buncha

computer maintenance tonight and I'm hitting the hay now!
