Working with viscous absolutes and oleresins

[Guest guest]

Hi,

In my collection, I have a number of ingredients that look like trouble.

Galbanum, for one, and some absolutes including: Tonka, Vanilla and Oak

Moss. Given my obvious inexperience, I'd like to get the best out of

these products and would like to learn a little more about handling

practices (esp. with the Tonka mass). I was hoping someone here would be

good enough to clue-me-in. I'm very interested in learning how best to

blend these products (and in what sort of quantities) with other oils,

using Jojoba as the blending medium.

Anyone here willing to help out a beginner?

Thanks,

Iain.
