The heavy, waxy nature of the absolute means we recommend pre-dissolving in a small amount of warm ethanol (or the final base) before adding to your formula — this avoids the "stringy" effect and guarantees even distribution. Send us your carrier base (alcohol %, oil type, wax type) and we will provide the recommended dissolution ratio for your specific formula within 24 hours.
