I decided to make a new infusion for soap today.
I was reading about yarrow and wild roses, But the wild roses stopped blooming weeks ago. What is blooming is our amazing fireweed! And yarrow haha.

So my infusion is going to go as follows. First i need to dry out both flowers. This will take a few days, Or i can pop them in the oven. Either way. They need to be dry.

Now because im going to use up my melt and pour soap base. i dont have to do much haha. Dry it out and add it directly to the melted soap. I may add a few drops of EO for some extra scent boost. We will see.

Its going to take a few days to prepare the flowers anyway, so i cant make it tonight.

Now if you do a cold process soap, You want to dry the flowers, infuse in your favorite oil and use that oil in place of the other oil in the soap. I want to use up my M+P base which is oatmeal and goats milk.

Im also going to make a few bars of my aunties favorite clary sage and lavender soap for her. So she has some before i leave.

Oh this yarrow is strong! :D

Its time to make my hand creams but i havent felt like doing it yet. My oil infusions are going to be SO strong haha.
