Words by Anny Schneider

Benzoin (sometimes called "Jaoui") is used all over the world as a preservative for ointments and creams for dermatological use.

Thanks to its high content of benzoic acid and its various esters, it is an exceptional antiseptic and antifungal.

As its resin is ultra-dense, for the same reason, it is absolutely necessary to dilute it in a polyunsaturated vegetable oil: safflower, grape seed or sunflower.

Or mix it at 10% in alcohol (gin, vodka, etc.) against chronic topical infections.

Origin

Purified resin obtained by incising the bark of a large tree grown in India.
