Really enjoyed watching the process! great work!
Great video! Thank you! 💞
What is the shelf life of this oil if I put in the vitamin E oil? How much vitamin E oil should I put in? Thank you for sharing this great video!

The shelf life will be dependent on the shelf life of the carrier oil you choose, so you will want to check that product. Vitamin E is typically added at a 1% dilution.
Wouldn't MCT oil work better as it is lighter and is not greasy? Or will it not infuse as well. Or is it that you prefer sunflower oil from a personal perspective.

You could work with whichever carrier oil you like best for topical use. Personally, I prefer to work with base oils that are as unrefined and unprocessed as possible. Because of this, I have not tried using MCT oil as a carrier for infused oils, so I cannot speak to its efficacy from experience. Theoretically, it should work just fine.
What dehydrator are you using? Thank you.

I added a direct link to the one I bought to the video description box. =)
Can we let the rosemary infuse in the oil by letting it sit in the sun for a few weeks instead of the boiler method? Thank you for your time

You could, but I don't recommend it. Sunlight causes constituents in our dried herbs and carrier oils to oxidize more quickly, which leads to rancidity and decreased quality. Better to let it slow infuse in a place shielded from light / heat.
