Material Detail

Benzoin Resinoid 50% BB is a thick, amber-colored resin extracted from the Styrax benzoin tree, which is native to Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia. Known for its rich, sweet, and balsamic aroma, it is commonly used in perfumery and aromatherapy for its grounding and soothing properties. Benzoin is derived by solvent extraction, and the 50% BB variant contains 50% resinoid in a base of benzyl benzoate (BB), which enhances its solubility and stability.

This resinoid is prized for its warm, vanilla-like fragrance with a hint of spice, making it a popular choice in incense, oriental perfumes, and as a fixative in fragrance compositions. In aromatherapy, Benzoin Resinoid is thought to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and support respiratory health.
