Step 1: Dry the herbs
You can let the flowers wilt for 12
hours first, or pop them in a dehydrator for 2-3 hours.
Step 2: Infuse the oil using a Heat Infusion
In a double boiler, gently heat
olive oil, sweet almond oil, vitamin e oil, and petals.
Simmer (just barely) for about 30
minutes to an hour (until the petals are fragrant).
Strain the petals with a fine
mesh strainer or cheese cloth into another bowl.
Step 3: Make the lotion bars
Prepare a double boiler by filling
a saucepan with a few inches of water and placing a heatproof bowl on top of
the saucepan.
Add the wisteria infused oil,
shea butter, and beeswax pellets to the bowl and heat over medium heat,
stirring occasionally until melted and well combined.
Pour the mixture into a silicone
mold or empty container and let it cool for at least an hour 3 hours
until it solidifies (overnight preferred).
Once solid, remove the lotion
bars from the mold or container and store in a cool, dry place.
