Benzoin Resinoid

Benzoin Resinoid (STYRAX BENZOIN RESIN OIL) is a treasured ingredient sourced from the majestic Benzoin tree, indigenous to regions such as Java, Sumatra, and Thailand, where it can reach an impressive height of 8 meters (20 feet). The unique extraction process involves making deep incisions in the tree's trunk, allowing the grayish sap to exude. Once hardened into a brittle resin, it is meticulously collected, cleaned, and processed through solvent extraction to yield a rich, thick oil. Renowned for its aromatic profile, Benzoin also known as Gum Benjamin, has been a staple in incense and perfumery for centuries, offering a warm, sweet scent that enhances various formulations. For optimal use, it is advisable to soften the resinoid by placing the bottle in a hot water bath, ensuring a smooth application once the oil returns to its liquid state. This captivating ingredient not only adds a luxurious fragrance but also possesses skin-soothing properties, making it a versatile addition to cosmetic products.
