How much vanilla absolute should I use?

[HenleyNatural]

I'm interested in making a batch of body butter with vanilla absolute. I've never used an absolute before so I don't know how much to add to my recipe. Has anyone on the forum used vanilla absolute before or have any suggestions for how much to use? I'd be interested in reading your experiences.

I currently use lemongrass EO at 1.3% per batch and it comes out great. I know an absolute is ultra-concentrated so I know I should use a very small amount.

Steve,

I typically use about 5 milliliters of Vanilla Absolute to scent 1 gallon of lotion or body cream.

I hope this helps!
