common questions

Do I need to dilute this base?

No — it is ready to use. Just add fragrance and bottle.

Can I use this in foaming dispensers?

This is a creamy lather base, not a foaming formula. Use standard pump or squeeze bottles.

What fragrance load should I use?

Up to 0.5% — start at 0.25% and increase if you want stronger scent.
