How to Make Herbal Oil Infusions for Soap Making and More

Maybe it's just the warm herbal smells of oils and herbs heating slowly, but I tend to make herbal oil infusions in the spring and fall...when the weather is either beginning to get warmer...or beginning to get cooler. Whether you infuse calendula petals or lavender...eucalyptus, patchouli, or sage, it's a lovely way to add some extra herbal goodness to your soaps (both liquid and bar), lotions, bath oils, massage bars and even bath bombs. It just takes some oil, some herbs and some heat.
