The shelf life will be dependent on the shelf life of the carrier oil you choose, so you will want to check that product. Vitamin E is typically added at a 1% dilution.
Wouldn't MCT oil work better as it is lighter and is not greasy? Or will it not infuse as well. Or is it that you prefer sunflower oil from a personal perspective.
You could work with whichever carrier oil you like best for topical use. Personally, I prefer to work with base oils that are as unrefined and unprocessed as possible. Because of this, I have not tried using MCT oil as a carrier for infused oils, so I cannot speak to its efficacy from experience. Theoretically, it should work just fine.
You could, but I don't recommend it. Sunlight causes constituents in our dried herbs and carrier oils to oxidize more quickly, which leads to rancidity and decreased quality. Better to let it slow infuse in a place shielded from light / heat.
Really enjoyed watching the process! great work!
What is the shelf life of this oil if I put in the vitamin E oil? How much vitamin E oil should I put in? Thank you for sharing this great video!

What dehydrator are you using? Thank you.
I added a direct link to the one I bought to the video description box. =)
Can we let the rosemary infuse in the oil by letting it sit in the sun for a few weeks instead of the boiler method? Thank you for your time
