Look at what I just got from lovely lady through freegle

I answered a posting on freegle that said it was about 15 half litre bottles of oils suitable for soap making. I got an email saying I could have them and this is what she gave me.

Nice score - I think that lady deserves some nice homemade soap...

OMG thats a lucky score.....

 

[siobhan1011]

oh oh oh, the big bottle at the back (the sweetie jar) is glycerol

 

[judymoody]

Wow, that is expensive stuff!

Chamomile EO, OMG! And all of that borage!

Check the carrier oils before you use them - some have very short shelf lives.

Lucky you!

Borage oil? is than an infusion? flowers, leaves, or both?

I ask because borage is going crazy 'volunteering' all over my garden right now. I would like to harvest and dry a bunch. Is there is a nice way to use borage infused oil in either soaps or bath bombs?

I have been making calendula petal infused oils and this is very nice to use in all sorts of skin soothing ways.
