Solve and process

Olibanum resinoid is viscous and does not dissolve well in pure alcohol without pretreatment.

Best method: first dissolve in ethanol or DPG (Dipropylene glycol) in a ratio of approx. 1:3 to 1:5.

For perfumes: make a tincture or pre-dilution (e.g. 20% resinoid in ethanol) and use this in your formula.

Tip: Gently heating (in a bain-marie, max. 40 °C) will speed up the dissolving process.
