Yes, Lise!! I decanted an oil infusion a couple weeks ago. I infused dried Rose petals and Vanilla beans in an Apricot Kernel oil for 6 weeks. The results were beautiful. The fragrance is lovely and it makes a lovely body oil! :)

Thanks for sharing your process!

Hello, I am new to your blog and have fallen in love with rose! Do you have links to quality suppliers?
LisaLise said…
Hi Meryl - IThanks so much for your kind words! din’t have a links to suppliers page. General rule: buy from companies who specialize in cosmetics ingredients instead of multi-pupose sales sites such as Amazon. The supplier should be able to answer questions about the ingredients and offer necessary dicumentation. Many suppliers also offer inspirational formulas. I’ll consider setting up a suppliers list page. Thanks for this great suggestion!

Hi Lisa. Do you mind to tell us the name of some of your roses suppliers? Kind regards, Emanuel
LisaLise said…
Hello Emanuel - I have typically ordered from producers of rose hydrosol and essential oils. Many of these manufacturers will also offer dried rosebuds and petals. :)

Hi Lisa,
What are your thoughts on using fresh, wildcrafted rose petals to make an infused oil?
Thank you in advance :)
LisaLise said…
HI Sharon - I have done this with wildcrafted rose petals and if you allow them to wilt and dry for a few days before using them and employ a heat infusion method you should be fine. :)

Tôi ngâm cánh hoa hồng khô từ vườn của mình với dầu vừng.
Trong công thức của bạn, có thêm vitamin E 5%. Nếu tôi không thêm vitamin E thì có được không?
LisaLise said…
Hi Lena — the 0.5% vitamin E is an antioxidant and will help keep the oil fresh longer. It isn’t vital if you are using up the oil quickly.

Hi Lisa, I have fresh rose petals and want to infuse then. What heat infusion method do you recommend please?
LisaLise said…
HI Phineas,

I'm afraid I can't recommend infusing oil with fresh rose petals. I would suggest drying them before infusing into oil.
