Sometimes I use infused oils in my Shea Butter Moisturizer and also in my hot oil and honey hair treatment. Pictured here is Chamomile Infused Olive Oil. I also infuse coconut oil. Any light oil I believe can be infused with any herb of your choice.

It’s easy to infuse oils with different herbs. I simply added the chamomile to the olive oil in a clear bottle and left it for a little over a month. Every now and then I would shake up the bottle a bit.
I read that you should infuse for as long as possible, preferably on a window sill or another area where the bottle receives direct sunlight, until the oil takes on the scent of the herb being infused, or until most of the herbs kind of ‘dissolve’ or break down (like in the second shot).
Another way to do it is to slowly warm up the oil with the herb in it on a moderate heat and then pour into a glass bottle and allow to cool.

    How do you infuse coconut oil? pls let me know i am in need of it !!

    -------------------

    I infuse coconut oil in the same way that I do the olive oil. I just put the herbs in the jar and then pour on the coconut oil over it and leave it for at least a month, shaking the bottle every now and then.
