It's really thick! Like molasses. Do I warm it up and use it neat in my soaps. Or do I dilute it to 3% with a carrier like jojoba?
 
If you are using it for CP soap, just use as is or mix with other essential oils and then pour it in with the oils before adding the lye water or at thin trace. If you set the benzoin container in really warm water for a few minutes and then stir it, this may cause it to be more fluid.
 
Thanks! That seems pretty straightforward.

Do you know about other products like body oils and lotions?
