For this batch I just used some old vitamin E capsules I had at home here. They're not even in their original bottle, so I have no idea what they are.

It looks like Wendy beat me to it :-) I will be making lip balm soon and I'll post on that.<br /><br />Linda, if you can measure and pour there is no doubt, you will be able to do it.<br /><br />Wendy, I don't feel qualified to give a definitive answer on this, but I agree with you on drying the herbs first.

I have fond memories. Making your own salves and balms is so rewarding and exciting as you know. <br /><br />The thing that stood out to me was the vitamin E. You may already know this...and if you do you are already ahead of me when I started...there is a man-made - tocopherYL, and a natural - tocopherOL. For salves you need to use the natural one. It has all its antioxident properties intact.Sue Frelickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13150735651127251014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023803000478958088.post-27145508925292834192012-08-31T07:46:38.755-04:002012-08-31T07:46:38.755-04:00Hmm.

I think that really only applies to the solar method- they don't have time to develop mould in the oven.<br /><br />No, I saw your reply, but the comment was removed.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557512606416161272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023803000478958088.post-37895278604522853322012-08-30T09:07:19.050-04:002012-08-30T09:07:19.050-04:00So sorry about your garden that did not make. I ha...So sorry about your garden that did not make. I have always read warnings that herbs in oil makes the perfect medium for bacterial growth and toxicity. Does heating it kill the bacteria in the herbs? I guess I should have kept my mouth shut too, but it is just a question not a criticism. Did you see the nasty comment on my #10 Can post? Sue, do have posts on this kind of stuff? I like to read stuff like this. Some day, Wendy, I will make things like you do.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023803000478958088.post-69735993710923070872012-08-30T07:56:21.464-04:002012-08-30T07:56:21.464-04:00Please, advise away!

I have more to say, ...Sweet! What a pretty green. <br /><br />I have more to say, but it borders on unsolicited advice so I'm keeping my mouth shut for a change.
