Herbs in Soap

 

  Herbs can be infused into oils. Use a small crock pot, add olive oil, the herbs and cook for two hours. Then cool and strain the oil. You can then use the infused oil in your soap making recipe. The infused oil can be 20% or more of your total olive oil. So, if your total olive oil is 500 g, use at least 100 g of the infused oil and 400 regular olive oil. 

Other plants that can also be infused are rosemary, hibiscus.

  If using the tea method - it can possibly turn the soap brown later, but if looking for a certain appearance go ahead.
