To clarify, she is not making essential oil. She is making an oil infusion. Completely different. And while grape seed has a light smell it also has a very short shelf life and heating it up shortens it even further. True essential oil, never goes bad (with the exception of citrus oils). This infusion will go rancid and in three months or less. I find this video extremely misinforming. As retailer who sells EO's I also find it frustrating to have to constantly re-educated people because of this kind of misinformation.

People are so critical,often without any polite, beneficial advice in exchange for their criticism. an essential oil is defined as:a natural oil typically obtained by distillation and having the characteristic fragrance of the plant or other source from which it is extracted. before there were advanced machines to pull every single drop of potent oil from plants, this method is how it was done. so, this is an essential oil as she is extracting oils from the plant. we as consumers are just spoiled by the intense concentration of the machine, etc extraction so sometimes it's difficult to appreciate a simplified extraction. thanks for the ❤video!

I enjoyed your video...I have started making my own oil infusions and extracts myself. I am so sorry to see all the negativity on your post. You have a fabulous garden too by the way.

Thank you! I've used this for my orange oil in soaps and I'm using it in lavender soaps as well. For those complaining she clearly states in her video that this is an infusion and not for medicinal purposes. So what if the title is different?! This is an excellent resource for those of us who've had it with paying so much for the oils. We're after the scent and not the medicinal properties, this is a much better alternative than chemically processed goods in the stores.

Wonderful tutorial, just thought you should know however that the reason those store bought oils cost so much is because they are super concentrated and are the extracted (essential) oils from the plants where what you’re making is known as an infused oil (which for those who don’t know is also effective and has many of the same benefits just not as strong as the essential oils alone) a good way to illustrate this is take a couple pieces of styrofoam and drip some pure essential oils on one and the infused oil on the other and you’ll see the difference in strength as the pure essential oil will dissolve the foam. God bless.

You have a beautiful garden

she was a lovely lady and loved the way she made lilac. I'll be doing this. thank you for the video. very informative and you're just lovely.

Hello. Verty interesting, thank you. I wanted to suggest another method of low temperature control that might help. You crush and bruise all your flowers first, then put them in a glass bottle with your grape seed oil, close the bottle top losely, then place this bottle in a deep saucepan of water on a low heat. Bring the water up to boil and then just very gently simmer for several hours. This would keep the temperature constant, below boiling 100c/212f and stop it going above what you want. I have a fantastic French oven which allows me to set the temperature anywhere from 300c down to 50c (and with the fan this is perfect for drying fruits and mushrooms etc).

Omg! “A rose by any other name.. “ I don’t care what you call it, this is amazing!! Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

I LOVE your backyard! Your accent is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

I had lilac bushes when I was growing up and they are so beautiful and smell amazing. You are so lucky to have them in your yard and enjoy them every spring. That in itself is wonderful.

Thank you for breaking down how to infuse oils, you are very pleasant and you have a beautiful garden. I have just started growing my own fruits, vegetables and herbs this year organically and I'm loving it. I have subscribed to your channel and can't wait for more videos. Have a blessed day!

This is great for the products you are making, but it is NOT an essential oil, it is infused oil! When you use alcohol, it is a tincture. There is a reason you pay so much money for 1oz of essential oil it is because it requires so much plant material to make a small amount by a distilling process and it is extremely concentrated unlike the infused oil you made.

Your garden is lovely! I will try your technique with my gardenias, as my daughter is interested in trying soap making. I think it will be more special using our own flowers from our garden. Thank you for your tutorial. We use grapeseed oil all the time for cooking, so we should have everything we need!

I love your accent 🧡 Also I think if you dry your flowers in your oven before you do this infused process you will speed up the cooking process, as well as lowering the chances of water being in the oil which could potentially cause mold.

This is a lovely. straight-forward, informative and gentle video. Thank you very much!

I thought the same thing! That blouse is adorable! I love it!

I really enjoyed your video, thanks for sharing it! I do it similar too, it don't matter to me if it's an essential or non essential oil or whatever... I go for the scent myself! it's the scent were after... hahaha ...not only that but its cheaper and smells the same so i see it as a win! Good Job!!! :)

Thank you for this beautiful video. I am a big fan of infused oil. I just discovered your vlog,will check out others. Just wanted to clarify to your viewers incase anyone thinks infused oil is same as essential oils of plants that we usually buy would like advise the following: The essential oils that you buy tend to be expensive because they are the essence of a plant, basically the extract from inside the plant that is extracted usually via steam distillation or solvent extraction or Carbon dioxide extraction. They are not the same as infused oil ( which is shown in this video but infused oil also has tremendous benefits & although not exactly same as Essential oils which we tend to buy, infused oils can be made at home as per this excellent video and will have many of the benefits as shop bought essential oils but not all the benefits of essential oils. Essential oils are highly concentrated extract of a plant s Essence where as infused oil is like making tea except you use oil instead of water to infuse so many of the goodness from the plant or flower will infuse into the oil.

I have no clue why people need to be so rude. To 90% of people it's obvious from the first few seconds it's not essential oil but it is a great video on infused oils for adding to everything from soaps to balms!!

Nice video. I just wanted to tell you that what you made is macerated oil instead of essential oil. To make essential oils you need to use a method of distillation and you actually get the oil of the plant. I would recommend you use dried plant instead of fresh as fresh flowers still contain water which will make your product likely to go rancid. Best way is to actually doing it over a few weeks and changing your plant material every week or so. Cheers!

I heard that the ceramic bowl of a crock pot [slow cooker] is better/healthier than this metal pot. You can moderate the temperature very nicely to 200 degrees too in a slow cooker. Then there 's the safety aspect of oil and a stove. Grapeseed oil is lovely and light and I wonder about adding other healthy additives.

Now I have a basic understanding of how this works, thank you so much :) I plan on making essential oils soon and this video helped me so much just as far as getting that.

I know this is a late post but I loved your video because of your honest and easy going manner. I am starting a foot massaging business and regardless of infused or essential oils...I am going to use Infused Oil. Yes, I know about how each is extracted and I would prefer Infused, just like this video. 1. It is a simpler way of making them for what I want to do. 2. The smell and benefits are still the same. The only thing that is different is that one is more concentrated and I don't want alcohol in my oils. I don't want to make a carrier based oil either. I also don't want to gather tons of it to make one bottle. Aside from that, Keila is such a great person. I love her enthusiasm and video's. I have Scribed Keila. Keep up the awesome videos! ♥

There's nothing dangerous about a lilac infused oil used for scenting lotions, soaps, and household cleaners, as she stated very clearly in the video as her intention. She does misunderstand the difference between an essential oil and an infused oil, but for her purposes, either will work. It would be great if she corrected her mistake, but it is an honest one. All of these angry people are doing more harm, in my opinion, in the manner of their correction than any harm she has done by misunderstanding the nature of what she's making -- or more precisely, the nature of what she had been purchasing. (She seems to understand that she's making an infused oil, but she just seems to be a bit mixed up in believing that an essential oil is the same thing.) And for the record, infused oils do contain essential oils, as long as they are kept covered during the infusion process. Otherwise, the essential oils, which are volatile, will evaporate. So a properly infused oil will have the same benefits, along with some others besides, of a true essential oil that is diluted in a carrier oil -- because that is basically what it is, except that other oil-soluble constituents of the herb besides only essential oils will also be extracted into the carrier. So, if anything, what she is making can in many applications be the better choice.

Blessed Be ! Thank you ! You are Stunning and SO BEAUTIFUL ~

i love this i'm currently making mint oil out of olive oil and mint leaves from my mini garden with this formula, great work!

Suck a great video !!! I’ve been wanting to make my sprays and herbal baths but essential oil kits are so expensive and confusing. Plus infusion is just what I need but didn’t know ! Bless you and your garden ❤️

Your back yard is amazing!!

This is an herbal infusion, not an essential oil. An essential oil would be extracted by distilling or pressing and would only include oil from the herb (lilac in this case) not grape seed oil. Infusions can be used to make products where a carrier oil is required such as a soap or a lotion. Thanks for help on infusions though. You saved me time since I was only cooking for about 3 hours and letting them sit for a month.

Thank you for making this video. You have a lovely garden and sweet voice. I just needed to know how to infuse flowers and get their scent.

Beautiful! BTW Grape Seed Oil is high in Vitamin E, has a high burn point (meaning it will not smoke at high temperatures), and is great for massage (low odor).

Her backyard is so pretty!!!!!!!

Grapeseed oil is great because you can heat it up without ruining the nutrients in the oil. It also has high amounts of Omega 6 & antioxidants That oil is especially great if you want to fry something because of its high smoke point, unlike olive oil which burns easier Thanks for the video :)

Beautiful!! Thank you for teaching me with your video!! I'm making an oil from my Valentine's flowers! Much love to you!

I'm subscribing cause I love that you speak slow and you repeat things, also, I have watched two of your vids now I loved them, thank you for taking the time to save our money.

For everyone complaining she clearly states in the video that this is infact Lilac Infused Oil..

I love her accent and personality.

This is the best oil making video I've found ;) . Thank you sooo much and love your back yard !

Thank you I will try this with the milkweed this spring. I’ve always wished for milkweed oil for personal scent I did not realize how easy it is to do!

Does it smell good. Can I use it as a skin oil? and how long does the smell last?

This video was so informative, I subscribed!

Your garden is BEAUTIFUL 💖

Thank you for sharing this information, it was very helpful. I was accually trying to find out how to make sweet tobacco essential oils but making infused oil may be the thing I accually want to do. Also, what you are making your oils for is exactly what I want to do. I love the smell of sweet tobacco and want to make air freshers with it. Thanks again.

Isn't this just infused oil, and not essential oil?

omg you are so pretty... lively and lovely.

I appreciate your video and am considering making my own EOs as well. I do wish to say though: you mentioned that you started making your own EOs because you got tired of paying $10/bottle. First of all, the brand now that you’re using, they’re a typical conventional drug store brand. I’ve looked into them, their labels aren’t very trustworthy. Also, even just 1/2 oz of pure, organic, therapeutic grade essential oil takes a minimum of 10 hours to distill. I agree that store-bought essential oils are highly-priced, but that’s also coming strictly from a consumer/customer perspective. We feel that way because we don’t see the time, effort, energy or money that’s spent on producing high-quality oils. I felt the same way as you before I started making my own colloidal silver. Once I started making my own colloidal silver and selling it, I started relating to and understanding sale prices better. And I’ve also been tempted to raise my own product prices to make my own effort time and energy worthwhile, which is something I never thought I’d do. Anyway, good video overall, I just wanted to add that.

THANK YOU FOR TEACHING THIS METHOD TO ME...you have saved me sooo much money and now I am able to make use of my wonderful smelling flowers in my garden. I just subscribed+look forward to learning more from you..I appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

Love your garden!!

Well that was fun & positive : ) Thanks for sharing!

Easier than I thought! Thank you for sharing that Keila!

Thank you for taking the time to show me how to make this :) Love and Peace

Beautiful garden and awesome video :)

Ma'am you are my lifesaver!!!! I love essential oils so much but I am a cheap ass and didn't want to spend so much money on oils. You are a blessing!

Quick and to the point. I love it. I have three large gardenia trees on the side of my home and two smaller bushes in my front yard. I will definitely try this with those flowers. I think I had lavender at one time but I continue to cut down bushes so I'm not sure anymore. I guess it's time to plant some lavender. 😉 Again thanks for the tutorial.

I love how you did that now I know how to make Oils thank you so much. By the way I love your backyard

The way she says lilac is cute and satisfying 😂🥰

Thank you for sharing, I also don’t want to spend 20dlls in a bottle of oil infuser that I can make myself 😄

I just love how simple you made that for me Thank you so much ❤️💕❤️

Thank you so much for sharing your D.I.Y. essential oils video. I found it informative and easy to understand. I'd love to make my own soap, candles, home fragrance sprays (like Febreeze) and beauty products. This is the first video I've watched. 🙌🏽 Nameste🙏🏼✊🏽🫶🏽 Ember

thank you

Es una técnica muy buena para extraer aceites esenciales, pero no se obtienen puros. Para obtenerlos puros se necesitan técnicas de destilación que dependerán de la delicadeza del material vegetal, y es por esta razón que los aceites puros son mucho más costosos. Te felicito por tan lindo vídeo explicativo.

So now at least i now the lilac added to my gtapeseed oil is real! Thank you so much, much love from Staten island New York!

I don't care if it is infused or essential all I want to say is I'm so impressed with this knowledge and would like to know if I can still use it with my face

Good tutorial on how to make infused oil (different from essential oil). Keep in mind this works better with some plants than it does for others--plants whose desired chemicals are hydrophilic (I believe ginger, lemons, cilantro, etc. are some examples) will not dissolve well in a cooking oil, which is hydrophobic. An alcohol extract may be a better call for said molecules

I don't get why people keep calling it "essential oil". Essential oil is the product of distillation (and you need A LOT of herbs), infused oil is this one and tinctures are extracts using alcohol (you can use other things in place of alcohol, but I can't remember now). Then there are tisanes (herbs infused in water). No intention to be rude, but this is misinformation.

I love making my own stuff. I make my own soaps, body scrubs, washes. This was next on my list. Thank you. I’m tired of spending those expensive prices for a little thing of oil. I use them a lot. Now I can make my own🤗

Despite the criticisms and corrections, I enjoyed your video very much, found it useful and very pleasant to watch. Thank you for taking the time to share your process! Please don't stop making videos! Blessings.

it's not an essential oil, it's an infused oil. the reason why the "one unce little bottle" is so expensive is because it takes a myriad of lavender to make oil. the plant itself is pressed till every drop comes out. it's 100% lavender, just like the grapeseed oil you bought is 100% grapeseed. you get what you pay for. it's like comparing a tiny bottle of thick dishsoap to a huge bottle of watery dishsoap. the tiny bottle is more expensive because it's 100% pure, the bigger bottle is less expensive because it's 70% water and not soap. big doesn't always mean more.

Essential oils are the extract of a material, not the addition of one.

Lovely, I would love to make this oil. I am going to look into adding lilacs to my garden for this.

your blessed with a gorgeous garden! looks very tranquil

Interesting, but I don't think this is an essential oil. This is more of a flower essence, which is still nice, but it's not an essential oil.

That was nice. I want to try this one day.

I am still in difficulty even if how much you teach beautifully essential oil ,to distingush the difference b/n essential and fragrance oil . would you help to clarify me . Glad to hear your presentation .

Thank you so much for boosting our confidence by seeing n watching you do...thanks a lot ma'am .

I want to make lemon grass how i can do it ?

i like oyu, you remind me of my old yoga instructor

You're so wonderful and blessed, you just blessed us.

It just occurred to me that we can use our slow cooker. I think that's what we'll do! I love your Franciscan-ware bowl! Lovely!

For Christ shake, essential oil is terminology for a specific product, not "essential" as in your daily vocabulary. Grapeseed oil isn't the most used oil for infusion simply because it's chemically unstable and have to use fresh. pple only use it as infusion base for cooking purpose as it contain omega 6. Everything abt this vid was wrong, so nothing to hate.

This is a nice video for infused oil, but infused oil and essential oil are two very different things. Infused oil may suite the purposes you are using them for, as you stated in you video, however you cannot compare the price of essential oil bought in store to your infused oil. Essential oils are more potent then infused oils are, and it is made through a completely different process. The process would involve Distilling the herb or flower you're using, it would be placed in with water, and as the water evaporates the oils from the plant are carried up through the vapour and are separated in the system. The reason you get such a small amount of ESSENTIAL oil at the store for the price it is at is because the plant materials you just used would only yield a tiny amount of essential oil, 100% concentrated. Some essential oils are cheaper than others because they dilute the oil with another to make more quantity, and market it as 100% natural essential oil, to make it sound pure, its not a 100%, for example, lilac, but the lilac used will be 100% pure. I hope this helps you understand the difference between essential oils and infused oils, as well as why the price varies by so much. The video essential oils home made - steam distillation can show the process used for essential oils. In the mean time you might consider re titling your video to say infused oil not essential.

Clarifying a mistake made is 1 thing but yall are actually embarrassing with your rude comments. I would like to Thank this lady for her time and effort. I rarely watch one video to gather information. Thanks again hun for the time and effort you put into this video, it's very informative and helpful to understanding this process. Thank you also to the ones that clarified the difference between infused and essential oils. Something I was not aware for. Get happy folks and just do you ! 😁

Old but gold! Thank you Keila

Stop repeating comments other..if this is not a essential oil! Then fine!

Oh dear, thanks so much. Do U think they works for me....? Hugs for U.

great job in doing it yourself. I understand exactly your point on making your own type of oil and adding oils to use to crush out the benfits of the lilac. People sometimes get mad when you are teaching other people a more affordable way of doing it. Keep on posting. I am also a retailer of essential oils and this is another way of getting a less stronger benfit but more affordable and usable in your products. And this you can apply on your skin because it is an iffusion. While the essential oil you are going to have to dillute it anyway in your products. So either way similar effects. Good job.

Thank you for the informative video! I really appreciate it. Forget about the critics. No such thing as sunflower or tulip essential oil anyway and I’m about to make sunflower infused oil. I look forward to trying tulips in the spring.

Hmmm the accent sounds Brazilian, você e brasileira?

sooo this is a tutorial for infused oil not essential oil.....

Thank you so much for this instructional. I can't wait to try this. One question though....will the oil keep for a long time? Or do you add something to prevent spoiling?

Can't wait to try this spring!! Thank you so much!! : )

This is NOT how to make essential oils. This is a great tutorial on how to make infused oils. Change the title and it will get a thumbs up. I should have known better because lilac doesn't t even have essential oils. But I would not leave the stove on for that long. Get a crock pot.

If this lady had continued on with her UKposts channel, she would have well over 1 million subscribers by now

You are not only pretty but also speak so beautifully!!😘😍 It's as if one is being taken thru a kindergarten class!! So lovingly!

Thank you, such an easy way to capture the scents of plants. I have some lemon balm I would like to try this with

1 ounce of essential oil will always be more expensive than cooking plant materials in 16 ounces of grape seed oil, because cooking plants in oil is technically an infusion. This is comparing apples to oranges. That bit of plant/flower material you put into the pot would only yield a few drops of pure/true essential oil. For you to come up with a whole ounce of a true essential oil, you would need to steam distill a great deal of your garden resources. Then you would see why a company has to charge more than grape seed oil for a medicinal product. I hope this video hasn't turned too many people away from buying quality essential oils, under such false pretenses.

This video is not titled correctly. This is not essential oil, this is an attempt at an infused oil. And this is not the proper way to do an infusion either. Why is she sauteing her lilac?!? Horribly misleading in her choice of words and just a terrible, terrible waste of lilacs.

Thank you so much..I was really in need of knowing how to make essential oil and here I came across.. Once again Thanks a lot.. Love from Srilanka 💗

Your presentation and explanation is superb.... You tell everything in details not much hurried... Your video helped me
