This oil is an infused oil: Essential oils are highly concentrated, while infused oils are much more mild. Essential oils are so powerful that they should almost never be applied directly to the skin, but rather diluted in a carrier oil. Infused oils, on the other hand, are gentle enough to be used on bare skin.

Thank you for sharing! Nice video... beautiful and relaxing music, calmly presented, with clear instructions. Can i leave the lavender in the oil much longer for cold process soap making? Can the same process be used for other flowers like rose petals, gardenia, Jasmine, etc...
Once you've made your lavender oil, then use it for recipe in soap making. I believe you can use this process for different flowers as well but perhaps you can look it up.
I love this. Something that I learned is to use a double boiler instead of putting it directly into the pot. Keeps the oil from burning. I didn't know about adding Salt when I crush my Lavender. I'm going to try that. Thanks. Also was the Lavender fresh or dried?
Yea I actually learned about the double boiler from someone in the comments. I used dried lavender. Thanks for watching and hope it works out. You will love it🥰🥰
a couple questions, what other oils can you use to put in with the lavender? i dont have olive oil. do you have to leave it for 5 hours? that's such a long long time that i dont have. and what else can you use, rose petals? eucalyptus? chamomile?
Truthfully I left mine on the stove for 4 hours but five is best. You can also do the no stove version. That is when you make the oil a d leave it for 7 to 10 days...or longer. You can use any carrier oil you like, like coconut oil, almond oil. When you make anything you can always replace this for that. Dont choose a carrier oil with a strong scent or you wont get the benefit of the lavender scent. There are tons of recipes online. Just Google: infused lavender oil recipes
This is an infused oil not an essential oil. However, cooking it is never done you will lose most of the floral scents. Best is to let it soak in a jar for a couple months. Essential oils and infused oils are completely different.
Absolutely correct. I tend to use the words interchangeably which is not really correct. I will correct it in my description. Thanks for looking out!! I appreciate that
@@slowlivingjane Of course. I see a lot of people out there watching these videos and thinking they can put this in their diffuser etc but those are just for essential oils. However, these are great for massage oils or cooking with like an Olive Oil ❤️. Love your video though 😁.
It never occurred to me to sterilize the bottles with alcohol, genius. 90% rubbing alcohol should do I think. My lavender is about to bloom, and my roses are full of fragrant flowers. I may have to try this with rose petals this weekend. It was serendipity TH-cam recommended this video. It’s a good technique to know in this upcoming shortage and potential civil war brewing here in the states. Have a beautiful day, Susan❤️.
Your blooming late. Mine have been blooming for a few weeks now. Maybe I have a different type. I notice the lavender in France also blooms end of June. Good luck with the oils and enjoy 💝💝
@@slowlivingjane I live in the coastal rainforest in Washington state, our “summer” is usually from July 1 till Oct15 (hot and dry). I’ve never been but I’m told our climate in my local area is like Ireland or lowland Scotland, always wet drippy cold and cloudy with a short but dry summer.
I dont know about Rose oil but there must be a recipe online somewhere. I dont dilute the oil before use. It's quite perfect with these measurements. Soft and gentle
The answer is different for different oils, because they all have different chemical compositions. Most will last at least two years before starting to degrade, unless they contain one of the unstable carrier oils. Some can last for as long as 15 years without losing their effectiveness. Many experts advise replacing essential oils every three years to be safe. The exceptions are patchouli, ylang ylang, vetiver and sandalwood because they actually improve as they age. But three years is on the short end of the lifespan scale for some other essentials.
Yes if you watched the entire video you will see I made it for face use every night. I also stress in the video about hygiene and show you how I clean the containers before I fill them. Good luck
These aren't essential oils, these are infused oils. Essential oils are 100% pure oil of the plant only, not other oils mixed in. Essential oils are much tronger & ha e a lots more benefits. The video title is very deceiving and I hope no one is trying to sell these as they will ha e a lawsuit on their hands.
OOOh that was fun to watch you make those beautiful oils -- I've always wanted to know how to make them myself. Now it. doesn't look as intimidating. It looks like proportions are roughly equal for oils used? Your daughters are lucky to have a mom that makes them things like this. Take us for a tour of the witch store on a future outing!
Yes the oils are pretty easy to make and I noticed there is always a long and a short way to make a particular one ( timewise). Hahahah the witch store, you're as silly as I am. Will definitely try to get more footage next time.
This essential oil I made for using on the skin and you can use to spray on your pillows or around the home. I would also use it in a water diffuser. I have never used an oil burner so I couldn't give any advise on that.
Hi Adie, thanks for joining the community. I never really thought about the quantities but the amounts will vary depending on the size of the glass jar or container that is used. I just pretty much wing a recipe like this. So for example if you fill a whole Mason jar of lavender, just put enough oil that oil the lavender is covered. ( immersed in the oil). Hope that helps. Are you going to try it? Good luck. It smells soooo nice
@@slowlivingjane thank you for the tips, I have ordered the ingredients and will hopefully get too try later this week. You have also inspired me too try and start my own etsy business!:)
Omg I am super happy. How amazing is that? Message me when you're all set up. I will definitely give you a shout out to family and friends and support you. Whoot Whoot 😍😍
Experts in this recommend that you replace essential oils every three years to be safe. It can also matter what carrier oils you use. It might be something you want to research on your own. I use so little of my oils per day that it lasts me sometimes a whole year. ..250 ml
This is so amazing I can’t wait to do this!! Just one question after I put it for 5 hours can I leave it in a jar for a day or 2? Just to espresso or do I have to do it right away? And this is really amazing video especially with the music in the back 🥰
After 4-5 hours its basically done. So no matter where you put it will be fine. I suggest though to strain away the lavender as soon as you can or it will be super strong...unless that's what you're going for😁😁
ღ Simple Slow Living ღ thank you so much!!!!!! I’m am so excited to do this and your video helped so much! 🥰 and thank you for replying and so fast to!

You're in Holland?! Cool! Here in Enschede myself.
Oh, btw, you sound like you're from the Caribbean. Am I correct?
Whoot whoot, nice! Thanks for watching 🥰
💕Love the music and your calm nature. So informative too!💕
Thanks Kris..hope you make some!!!
A good tip is to do a double boiler. Olive oil burns easily. Try coconut oil. Nice vid!
Good point, good tip...thanks
@@slowlivingjane
You are most welcome!
What’s a double boiler?
That's when you put a pot in a pot kind of set up...so the product is not in too much direct contact with the heat.
Thank you for sharing! Nice video... beautiful and relaxing music, calmly presented, with clear instructions. Can i leave the lavender in the oil much longer for cold process soap making? Can the same process be used for other flowers like rose petals, gardenia, Jasmine, etc...

How beautiful! I have a huge bag of dried lavender. I will give this a try.
That's a great start. It's so simple and smells soooooo good. Good luck 💝💝💝

I love this. But i am so desperately searching for diy oils for candle making.
Anyone can suggest ?
Good idea actually. Will look into it and make a video soon
@@slowlivingjane yay. Thank you!
Lol...dont thank me yet. It could end up being a disaster. But stay tuned, we shall see😁🤣

Oh that's great advice! How do you do it in a jar?? Never heard of that before.. thanks
Not sure I understand the question but if you mean how to get it in the jar you can use a little funnel.
@@slowlivingjane oh I just wanted the process of soaking it in a jar instead as I'm looking for essential oil :D
Very good choice of music.
Love the music too.
Awesome, very beautiful and soothing to see. I wanted to know if I can use these oils on diffusers with candles?
Thank you so much for sharing this
I think so, but maybe you should Google on it. Oils and fires don't seem a good combination to me
It never occurred to me to sterilize the bottles with alcohol, genius. 90% rubbing alcohol should do I think. My lavender is about to bloom, and my roses are full of fragrant flowers.

Wow I love all these little "brews" you create! Those labels turned out cute!
Thanks so much!
Thanks for sharing, can rose oil be made the same way? And do you dilute the oil before using it on your face?
I dont know about Rose oil but there must be a recipe online somewhere. I dont dilute the oil before use. It's quite perfect with these measurements. Soft and gentle
Hello maam ...can i ask question ...no expiration and long lasting ?

Okay thank u so much for information ...thank thank u
👌👌👌
Pls where will i get it
I really need it
You can get the ingredients at any herbal store. And if not you can buy the oil already made from almost anywhere. Good luck
Thank you this was very informative ❤️
You're most welcome 💗💗
👍
Is this safe to use on your face?
Yes if you watched the entire video you will see I made it for face use every night. I also stress in the video about hygiene and show you how I clean the containers before I fill them. Good luck

This is great
Thank you for watching 🥰💝
I've been looking at other essential oil videos and I like your method the best!
I do hope you try it. Its really quick and it smells sooooo good. Don't forget to clean/disinfectant your jars💖💖
Can you reuse the lavender after it’s been used once?
I wouldn't do that. Just get a new batch. I think all the goodness and scent would be lost.
Good luck

Hi, would these be strong enough to use through an Oilburner/diffuser
This essential oil I made for using on the skin and you can use to spray on your pillows or around the home. I would also use it in a water diffuser. I have never used an oil burner so I couldn't give any advise on that.
Hey I found your videos a few days ago and am loving your channel :D I wondered if you know the quantities of ingredients used?

At which street was the story in Delft?
I went to Drogisterij Pappilon on the Choorstraat 60, 2611 JH Delft
If you need anything in that area, I swear they have it all. 🥰
@@slowlivingjane thanks ❤️
Where is the witch store

Byee😊
How long can we store it?

Can you use this in your hair?
Absolutely..all the ingredients are things you can use in your hair separately so no reason why you cant use it when put together. Enjoy!!
Please, do NOT use himalayan salt. Research where it comes from and what it’s actually made of.
This is so amazing I can’t wait to do this!! Just one question after I put it for 5 hours can I leave it in a jar for a day or 2? Just to espresso or do I have to do it right away? And this is really amazing video especially with the music in the back 🥰
