Work with the natural pigments in plant oils to add color and antioxidants

Plant oils hold a surprising range of natural pigments, from soft, earthy tones to vivid reds, golds, and greens. These colors come from carotenoids and other botanical compounds that also support the skin. In Oils Only, you’ll learn how to choose and work with these colorful oils so they add both visual beauty and antioxidant benefits to your balms, salves, and body oils.

I really enjoyed studying the Oils Only Recipes & Methods course with Susan. It gathers together all the core information on getting to know the plant characteristics and chemistry of a wide range of oils and it provides helpful tips on how to formulate different oily products. The course has lots of valuable references, descriptions and comparisons. 

I liked the opportunity to study at my own pace. Some of the exotic oils sound wonderful and I hope to explore all the oils further!
