Flower petals in oil
Does anyone have an experience they would like to share with me about the stability of flower petals in oils?
Thank you!

I found they moved around rather a lot. But then I realised that it was just air currents.

Thank you Belassi!

@Askalite, I was just joking with you!

Ha @Belassi, I figured. But you still took your precious time to comment on my question

I did that once, with stinky Calendula petals, in sunflower oil. I think it resulted in a contaminated lotion, but I had no ‘control’ lotion made at the same time with plain sunflower oil, so I’m just speculating here, on the deck, outside.
The petals made the oil a nice color/colour though
.
I’m not sure if my answer helps you at all. -
Belassi… you gotta buy the DEAD ones.

My product will have bitter orange petal extract… it has astringent properties and therefore causes the skin to appear firmer.

Have anyone seen the shower gel with flower petals?
Like this one from china.Shower gel with rose petals,lavender ,etc.
I have seen the real one ,the flower petal is very good condition (no rotting).
I notice that the flower petal inside the shower gel does not has any color.So it is not fade and breed with the color of shower gel.
I was wondering how can we use the flower petals in shower gel.
How about pre-treatment flower petals with some solvents (ex propylene glycol) for color extraction and coat it with some polymer like chitosan or pvp.
Anyone idea?

I’d suggest that the safest method is to soak the petals in 190 proof ethanol first.

@Bobzchemist ,thank you for your suggestion.

Yes, I’ve seen serums with a plant in the bottle.
