Escentia Benzoin Oil
Escentia Benzoin Oil is a rich, aromatic resin oil derived from Styrax benzoin, commonly known as benzoin resin. Often referred to as Friars Balsam, this oil is valued for its warm, sweet, vanilla-like scent and its versatility in aromatherapy, natural perfumery, and cosmetic formulations.
Unlike many essential oils, benzoin has a thicker, syrupy consistency, making it especially useful as a fixative in fragrance blends, helping to anchor and extend the life of lighter aromatic notes.
What Is Benzoin Oil?
Benzoin oil is obtained from the resin of the benzoin tree and processed into a usable aromatic extract. Escentia Benzoin Oil retains the characteristic richness of the resin, resulting in a deeply comforting aroma that has been used traditionally in incense, perfumery, and wellness rituals.
Because of its resinous nature, benzoin oil is often used in small amounts and diluted before application.
