Question

Can Myrrh Absolute, Tuberose Absolute, and Siam Benzoin Resinoid be dissolved in Fractionated Coconut Oil?

Answer

Solubility of Myrrh Absolute, Tuberose Absolute, and Benzoin Resinoid in Fractionated Coconut Oil

Regarding the solubility of Myrrh Absolute, Tuberose Absolute, and Siam Benzoin Resinoid in Fractionated Coconut Oil, specific solubility data for these exact products in Fractionated Coconut Oil is not available from our product descriptions.

Generally:

  • Absolutes and Resinoids: These are concentrated aromatic materials extracted using solvents. They are typically soluble in alcohol and many types of oils, including carrier oils like Fractionated Coconut Oil.
  • Fractionated Coconut Oil: This is a common carrier oil known for its light texture and stability.

While it is common practice to dilute absolutes and resinoids in carrier oils for perfumery and topical applications, the degree of solubility can vary depending on the specific composition of the absolute/resinoid and the quality of the oil. Some resinoids, particularly, may contain small amounts of insoluble natural waxes or resins.

Recommendation:

The best way to confirm solubility is to perform a small test batch. Mix a small amount of the absolute/resinoid with Fractionated Coconut Oil at your desired concentration and observe if it dissolves completely. If there is any cloudiness or sediment, gentle warming might help, or you may need to filter the mixture.

In summary, while they are generally expected to be soluble, it is recommended to test directly to ensure full clarity and solubility for your specific application.
