Benzoin (Diluted) Essential Oil - Set of 10 x 10ml

On a cold evening, warming a blend with a drop of Benzoin oil brings a soft, sweet, vanilla-like resin scent into a room, the kind of warm base note that lingers after candles are blown out. This batch is a diluted preparation of benzoin resin from Indonesia, made easier to measure and blend than the thick raw resin.

Symbolism

Benzoin resin, tapped from Styrax trees, has been burned as incense across Asia for centuries, traditionally associated with comfort, warmth and the purifying of a space. Because the raw resin is extremely thick, it is commonly supplied pre-diluted in a carrier for ease of use, a long-standing practice in the resin and incense trade rather than a sign of lower quality.

How to use

• Add a drop or two to a diffuser blend for a sweet, resinous base note.
• Dilute further in a carrier oil before any skin contact, and patch test first.
• Do not ingest, and store away from children and pets.
• Check with a doctor before use in pregnancy.
