Guest guest Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Just for the record, Rhavda's infused Oakmoss oil is GREAT! *Smile* Chris (list mom) Don't Miss Out On Our Orsa Pink " Real " Salt Special http://www.alittleolfactory.com <http://www.alittleolfactory.com/> Deat Barbara, I have no idea if oak moss is good in soaps. I only use in it in making infused oils for healing formulas and perfumery. I think that some of the soapers need to answer your question on this. I just go outside my home after a storm and pick up a lot of branches covered with oak moss. Bring them in and let them dry for a few days and then scrap off the oak moss into a jar until I need it for my infusions. Oak moss has a nice earthy smell. It is great in perfumery and in herbal formulas. It will take the edge off a sharp smelling perfume and soften it greatly. It is good for vein interigity and varicose veins among its uses. However, unless the co-op has a really good price on it, I would be leary because oak moss is labor intensive to get. It takes several hours of scraping the oak moss off of many tree limbs to get an amount worth infusing. I have been making oak moss infused oil since about 1992 when we had problems getting oak moss absolute from Croatia. Needless to say I am now spoiled by American made oak moss infused oil which has a wonderful soft smell rather than the harsher smell of the more expensive oak moss absolute. Good luck and if you need to email me privately, then do so. Rhavda Emison Scents of Success (http://www.scentsofsuccess.com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
