Infusions in Olive Oil



Here are Calendula, Creosote, and Chamomile infusing in olive oil. This is a second infusion, as I like the final product to be extra strength for using in salves and soap recipes. Notice how some herbs will float and others will sink. I like to use virgin olive oil for its healing, moisturizing and skin soothing qualities and extra light oil, as it allows the herbal colors to really infuse and enhance the final product color.
