I infused honeysuckle into grapeseed oil.

I did it three times then I soaped with it I used kaolin clay to help stick the oils that came from the blossoms in, & the soap smells kinda sweet, not exactly like honeysuckle. though. (maybe like honeysuckle mixed with cocoa butter)

When you say you did it 3 times, do you mean you triple infused? If so, well done! I think it's gorgeous!

Gorgeous soap! Did the infused oil have a scent? If so, I might try that for lotion.

I infused about 3 ounces of grapeseed oil with 3 packed down cups of honeysuckle total, by the time I did the 3rd 1 cup infusion, it had a scent, not sure it stuck well though.

That's some sweet looking soap! I've been wanting to make honeysuckle jelly or syrup and now I'm really inspired

Thats some of the prettiest soap I've seen. The colors are gorgeous and the swirls are just perfect.

Wow. Triple wow! Wow to infinity. That is beautiful soap.

 

[coffeetime]

Beautiful! How on earth did you get a swirl like that?

Great colors, amazing swirls - beautiful work! Infusing honeysuckle into grapeseed oil is fascinating to me. Did you dry the blossoms or infuse with fresh?

 

[Balloons]

What pretty soap. I love the smell of honeysuckle.

Did you dry the blossoms or infuse with fresh?

I infused with fresh, took a week, cause I infused for 36 hours, strained squeezed out the oil then infused same oil with more fresh honeysuckle & repeated one more time. I'm now thinking of using Vodka & fresh grated orange peel, avoiding the white part..& repeating till the vodka smells strong of orange...only problem is I'll need to give the orange themselves to family members to eat, as I'm allergic to oranges, Oh & I'll add a cinnamon stick & cloves as well.
