Hello everybody,

I bought some benzoin gum after reading about its benefits. The bag contained hard lumps, not a powder. I reduced it to a powder using my pestle and mortar and mixed it with my essential oils. The trouble is it looks and feels like sand. My question is: is it going to dissolve in the soap batter or stay sand-like? I worry that my soap might be a bit too scratchy. Maybe I did not grind it enough...

What do you think?
