Benzoin Resinoid (Gum) - Resinoids, Gums, Crystals

A balsamic resin found in various species of an Asian tree called the storax (or styrax), benzoin gum has anti-oxidative properties and is a natural preservative in skin care preparations. This makes it very good for use in creams & ointments and to prevent the oxidisation of essential oils in a blend. Primarily, Benzoin is used for incense – it has a sweet-balsamic odour with a distinct vanilla note. Benzoin is also an excellent choice to use as a fixative in perfumes as it holds onto the lighter notes.
