Words by Anny Schneider
Benzoin is used all over the world as a preservative in ointments for dermatological use.
Due to its high content of benzoic acid and its various esters, it is an exceptional antiseptic and antifungal.
As its resin is ultradense, it is a mother tincture rather than a pure essential oil.
For the same reason, it is important to dilute it in a vegetable oil.
Origin of this essential oil
This benzoin essential oil from India is extracted by solvent and then distilled from the oleoresin of the plant.
Properties
Favorable action on the psyche and emotional rebalance (use by traditional healers).
It has a sweet balsamic and vanilla aroma that is often used as a fixative in perfumery.
Its thick resinous texture makes it hard to use with the typical essential oil bottles so we bottle it in bottles with a slightly larger opening.
Suggestions for use
inhalation, diffusion (after dilution).
Cautions
Keep away from children, air, heat and light.
Possibility of allergic reactions.
More information
Its uses are essentially perfumery as a so-called "oriental" note for benzoin from Siam, and aromas, in particular cigarettes, for benzoin from Sumatra.
Siam benzoin also finds some pharmaceutical applications in the form of a tincture.
Benzoin from Siam or Laos is the most important of the active ingredients in Armenian paper.
Benzoin is also used as incense, especially in the Russian Orthodox Church and in the Maghreb countries (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia).
It is a large tree with whitish twigs, white flowers on the outside and red on the inside.
The resin is collected after incision.
The smell is reminiscent of vanilla (there is vanillin in benzoin).
