Hello Maicurlies,
I promise we are close to the end of my DIY Infused Oil obsession just two more to go after this (I will probably make more for myself but don’t want to push it by making you guys hear about EVERYTHING I make) 😀
I will be sharing how I make my DIY Amla Infused Grapeseed Oil.
DIY Amla Infused Grapeseed Oil
I have already mentioned the benefits of using Amla infused oil which you can read over here and in case you’re new to my blog (Hi there!) or perhaps missed my previous oil Infusion posts you can find links to them below:
DIY Rose Infused Grapeseed Oil
DIY Hibiscus infused Almond Oil
Before I go any further I want to mention I was not requested or compensated for anything used in this DIY recipe. All products used were paid for with my own money. Amla oil is said to help darken the hair so if you do not want this attribute then this recipe might not be the one for you.
With that out the way – I have a video demonstrating how I make my Amla Infused oil on my YouTube Channel:
I also wanted to provide a write-up so here we go Maicurlies!
Ingredients/tools:
- Spoon
- Measuring cups
- Container
- Coffee filter
- String (to close the coffee filter)
- 1/4 cup of Amla powder (Hesh)
- 1.5 cups cup of Grapeseed Oil (you can use any oil of choice)
- 15 drops Grapefruit essential oil (optional – you can use any oil of choice)
*NOTE: I am not a dermatologist nor a doctor. I provide this for informational purposes only so please consult with a professional before you apply anything new to your skin or hair. Should you be taking medication or creams from a medical professional please do not replace that with my DIY recipe – consult your medical professional first! If you are allergic to any of the ingredients I use do not use them. Do a small patch test on the inside of your arm when trying anything new before applying it all over your hair/skin. Always ensure to dilute the Essential Oils (EO) in a carrier oil as they can cause skin irritations if used undiluted. If you are pregnant you should NOT use any EO.
-
- I add 1/4 cup of Amla powder to my coffee filter paper
-
- Close the filter with string
-
- Pouring 1.5 cups of Grapeseed oil over Amla bag
-
- Let the Oil infuse for 2 weeks

- I take out the filter and squeeze out excess oil. (You can run the oil through a filter or cheese cloth afterwards).
-
- I add 15 drops of Grapefruit essential Oil (optional) and that is it!
Here are some of the ways you can use the oil:
- To seal in moisture
- Part of you deep condition mix
- A pre-poo
- In your whipped butter mix
- For a scalp massage
I would love to hear if you have or will use Amla Infused Oil . I would also love to hear how you use the oil!
Thanks

Hi Equality,
Thank you for stopping by and commenting. I am addicted to containers :).
I got a few jars from my local super market and others I got from a “kitch” shop. It is called Daiso – I think they have an online store (not sure). There are a lot of kitch (useless stuff) but the containers are awesome :).
Thanks again for commenting!

Thank you Mai! You know how much I love Amla, I gave no idea why I have never infused an oil with it directly. I will have to give it a try!

My pleasure Sen 🙂 There are sooo many things I want to infuse in oil it is ridiculous lol! So far I’ve done Rose, Hibisicus, Amla, Neem and Coffe beans. I have to pace myself and use up what I’ve got (and give some out) then it is back to the kitchen for more mixing 😀
