Liquid oils... add herbs and let it sit for 3 days - 2 weeks or you can warm the oils on the stove not to hot and simmer it in. I have done it with dried Chamomile, which is nice. A soaper friend in WA said that infusing oils with fresh chamomile is divine. So this summer I will be growing fresh just to infuse. Mint & Lemon balm would be a nice fresh como. I would just stay away from spicy stuff, since it may be to irritating.

I just love this thread -- I can't wait to try making my own! And Elizabeth - love your website! I have a feeling that I WOULD be addicted to the vanilla, caramel scent !
XOXO, Libbie

I did a google search and found 1 oz. push up plastic tubes for about .97 each. I ordered 30 because this is definitely going to be a farmgrrrl chapter project :)

I'm still waiting for my plastic push up tubes. UPS tried to deliver them 3 times while I was at work and now I think I have to go to their warehouse to pick them up :(

Elizabeth,
What is the natural scent of Kokum? Is it mild or strong? I have "issues" with smells, and I'm always cautious...
Also, MountainRoseHerbs.com is a good source of butters, herbs, oils and waxes.
thanks,
Kelly

| What a great idea! Would coconut oil work? It's solid at room temp. |
