I use it in CP soaps and don't have acceleration in coming to trace. It makes the EO's I use in CP soap last for up to a year. Love it..
While I appreciate the intent here, the benzoin is cut with DPG to the point of having barely any smell.
This product is not suitable for cold process soap. I had tried it in small amounts blended with other essential oils* and it was ok, but anything more than just a hint and my entire batch accelerates, rices and becomes ruined. Not worth it.
*please see previous reviewer’s comment about the synthetic base of this product. Being listed as an essential oil does not seem legitimate.
This product smells amazing. Although the other reviews say that the oil doesn’t work in cold process soap, I have used it in melt and pour soap, and have had very satisfying results. This oil smells like heaven and I am sorry that it doesn’t work in cold process soap making.
