The oil is heat sensitive and also prone to oxidation so I'm not sure how you would be able to get the best out of both your coffee and the oil by combining them in this way. If it were me, I would most likely macerate the coffee into an oil with a long shelf life that was heat tolerant, then combine the macerated oil with the rosehip seed oil for the end product.

Firstly, I want to thank you for doing a fantastic job with this blog. In the meantime, I did a coffee infused oil while searching, I did come across optional extras like adding pinch of cardamom or even a small chopped vanilla pod to make it more flavoured. Also what do you do with the coffee left overs, after you strain the infused oil? many thanks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15955005452295790924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131647485414323768.post-78153698704160458862019-07-31T11:25:59.308+02:002019-07-31T11:25:59.308+02:00Hi Kat - you might also consider adding caffeine. ...Hi Kat - you might also consider adding caffeine.

I used the coffee oils in two different Eye Creams. The one in Shea butter was a bit trickier to filter initially, as it needed some gentle reheating. But all in all I would definitely do some more work with coffee infusions. They lend a lovely and subtle fragrance that blends well with some essential oils.

I've never bought coffee essential oil because of the price, but this I could give a chance.

I didn't add antioxidant and it has been about 3 months I wonder if it is still good. I used jojoba and that has a longer shelf life. My plans were for using it in a lip balm and eye serum.
