Infused Oils: The Heart of Botanical Skincare
At Camelia Colette Soapery, I believe skincare should be intentional, nourishing, and rooted in nature. One of the ways I bring that belief to life is through the use of infused oils, slow-crafted, plant-powered ingredients that deliver real benefits to your skin.
These oils aren’t just ingredients. They’re rituals in a bottle, steeped in care, purpose, and the healing energy of botanicals.
What Are Infused Oils?
Infused oils are made by gently soaking dried herbs, flowers, or botanicals in a carrier oil over time, allowing the oil to absorb the plant’s nutrients and skin-loving properties. The result is a beautifully rich, therapeutic oil that brings the power of plants directly to your skin.
Unlike essential oils, which are concentrated extracts, infused oils are gentler, perfect for daily skincare and all skin types.
Why I Infuse Oils by Hand
Every batch of infused oil I make is done with intention, slowly and naturally, without rushing the process. I choose herbs that complement skin health and blend them into oils like jojoba, tamanu, or sunflower oil to deliver targeted results.
Here are a couple I love using:
Calendula-Infused Tamanu Oil
Calendula is a skin-soothing powerhouse, great for calming irritation, reducing redness, and speeding up healing.
Tamanu oil is rich and deeply restorative. Together, they create a blend that’s perfect for:
✔️ Sensitive skin
✔️ Blemishes and breakouts
✔️ Scars and inflammation
Coffee-Infused Jojoba Oil
This energizing infusion smells as good as it feels. Coffee is packed with antioxidants and helps boost circulation, reduce puffiness, and brighten dull skin.
Jojoba oil closely mimics the skin’s natural oils, making it ultra-absorbent and balancing.
This combo is amazing for:
✔️ Under-eye care
✔️ Tired or dull skin
✔️ Gentle exfoliation and firming
Why Infused Oils Make a Difference
When you use infused oils in your skincare, you’re giving your skin the benefit of whole plant power, not just one compound, but the full spectrum of goodness each herb or flower has to offer. The Calendula-Infused Tamanu Oil is one of the ingredients in the Turmeric & Manuka Honey Body Butter.
It’s slower. It’s more thoughtful. And it’s exactly the kind of care your skin deserves.
If you’ve ever wondered why my soaps, lotions, or creams feel just a little different, it’s because they’re made with ingredients that were created with love and time, not just mixed in a hurry.
Have a favorite herb you'd love to see infused into a future product? I’d love to hear from you!
Until next time, stay nourished and rooted,
