Infusing orange peels?

[Anstarx]

I was given a bunch of very nice oranges by family and got the idea of infusing oils with orange peels. I know the scent won't last in soap so I plan to make lip balm, hand lotion, or maybe shampoo bars with it just to see how it works.

I figured infusing fresh orange peels directly with oil may not be a good idea, so I plan to let the peels air dry then extract using alcohol.

I tried searching around for a recipe but I could only found recipes using orange-infused olive oil for cooking, so wondering if anyone had infused oil with orange peels and how did you use it?

I have infused orange peels in vinegar for an all purpose cleaner. Not sure about using orange peels in oil for skin. Sounds rather harsh and you would have no way to measure how much orange oil is in there. Thinking of phototoxicity.
