infusing green tea into body/face butter?
hello all! I feel like this may be a dumb question but I viewed a lot of tutorial videos of people melting the oils and butters using the double boiler method and putting tea leaves in the mix at the same time and later filtering out the tea leaves with a cheesecloth. I was going to try it for myself but I just wanted to make sure beforehand if this concoction would need some kind of preservative because of the tea or not. anything helps thanks for the help!

I don’t see any benefit from infusing oils with tea leaves since all the good stuff in tea leaves is water soluble. All you get into the oil is some flavour and chlorophyll.Depending on how you package, what and where you do with your product, your anhydrous formulation doesn’t need preservation.
