I looked in all of my herbal teaching books for this answer but didn't find it. When using herbs in lotions which method is better, using an oil infusion or a water infusion? I was wondering if one method would preserve the herbs better and/or help them be absorbed better by the skin. Do you have any book recommendations for me?

I would go with the oil infusion and make sure that the herbs are dry.
Any herbs or a herbal ingredients is much harder to preserve.
If you are planning on selling, I would get your lotion tested.
Which preservative are you planning on using?
