I want to infuse dried chamomile flowers into the oils for my CP soap recipe. Has anyone done this before? I've done oil infusions with paprika, alkanet root, and comfrey, but these were all meant to color the soap. I'm looking to infuse the oil with chamomile so that the scent remains intact. I've tried using chamomile fragrance oil, but it smells so artificial and not like the chamomile I was imagining.
If anyone has experience with this, I'm wondering what is a good ratio of dried chamomile flowers to oil for the infusion, and what percentage of the total oils should be infused? Thank you!
