I've noticed some of the more expensive floral oils are available much more affordably as floral wax. The place I've found some mentions they can be used in CP and HP soaps. Does anyone know how these are used? Would it be similar to using beeswax in that it would need to be added to the heated oils before mixing, then combine the lye at higher temps to prevent seizure? Does anyone use these?

I'm thinking of trying the jasmine and tuberose especially.
 
When I use jasmine wax in soap I actually use only ½ oz per pound. The scent does come through and since I can't stand it I do not use it alone but use an EO for a blend.
All waxes are not in the same strength, though, so you will have to experiment to get it where you want it.
