Benzoin Essential Oil 1 fl oz 100% Pure Oil Thera

Derived from a flowering tree (Styrax benzoin) native to Southeast Asia, benzoin is an aromatic resin that can be converted into oil through solvent extraction. Benzoin's golden hue is a telltale sign of its warm, rich scent, which carries a significant vanilla presence. Most widely included in incense, benzoin has historically been used to banish evil spirits. Today it commonly featured in luxurious perfumes.

Historically exported from the region by sea trade, benzoin became prized throughout Europe, Asia and Africa for its warm vanilla-honey scent. This led to its inclusion in many varieties of incense and perfume, spiking demand throughout the world. Like Peru balsam, another resin-derived oil, testing a very small amount of benzoin on the skin is advised.
