Welcome Tom!
I don't have any experience with Dr Bronner's but I understand wanting to find something natural to wash with as I've also noticed anything harsh seems to aggravate things. I too have the most problems with scalp psoriasis and have had a hard time finding things that don't burn (well heck, sometimes just water will make my scalp burned if it's a bit raw in places.)
Since I've had good results using coconut oil, I tend to look for products that contain coconut oil. I also have looked in to making my own soap but not sure I want to deal with lye and the "melt and pour" method is basically just adding fragrance to a premade soap block. It's on my list of things to look in to as if made myself I could experiment with ingredients.
Sorry, I'm getting a bit off topic. I would think you could try to dilute it and see if that helps. It wouldn't hurt to try. I do add tea tree oil to my shampoo, but only a small amount as it seems very strong.
