lemonbalm in cp soap?

[lindseyga]

My mom has a ton of lemonbalm growing in her garden. Can I use it or infuse in oil and use it? Has anyone else ever done this?

i've made herbal infusions with lemon balm and other herbs before and it works great! i put the herbs and whatever oil i'm using (usually olive) in a crockpot and put it on low all day. then i let it sit over night, strain out the herbs, and rebottle the oil.

Thanks hello crafty and another question

Love your etsy site and especially the button soaps. Adorable.

When you infuse the oil, are you using dried or fresh herbs?

Lemonbalm is one of my favorite smells... Stuff grows big and strong! I have a lot growing myself.
