Our Benzoin Essential Oil (10ml Bottle) offers a rich, warming, and comforting aroma that promotes emotional balance and supports overall well-being. Extracted from the resin of the Styrax tree, this thick, golden-brown oil is a versatile addition to any aromatherapy collection.

Key Benefits
  • Emotional Comfort: The sweet, vanilla-like scent with balsamic undertones soothes the senses, helps relieve stress, anxiety, and emotional fatigue, and promotes a sense of deep calm and reassurance.
  • Skin Health: Known for its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, diluted Benzoin oil helps protect and soothe dry, chapped, or irritated skin and may help improve skin elasticity.
  • Respiratory Support: When used in a diffuser or steam inhalation, its warming properties can act as a natural decongestant and expectorant, helping to ease coughs, bronchitis, and clear airways.
  • Warming & Stimulating: The oil has a natural warming effect, which can help improve circulation, reduce muscle stiffness, and provide relief from symptoms of arthritis and rheumatism.
  • Natural Fixative: As a rich, heavy base note, it is popular in perfumery and DIY blends to anchor scents and enhance their lasting power.

Aromatic Profile
  • Aroma: Warm, sweet, and rich, with notes of vanilla, hints of cinnamon, and a deep balsamic, slightly woody undertone.
  • Note: Base note.
  • Blends well with: Bergamot, Coriander, Cypress, Frankincense, Juniper, Lavender, Lemon, Myrrh, Orange, Rose, and Sandalwood.

How to Use
  • Diffusion: Add 4-8 drops to your essential oil diffuser to create a comforting and peaceful home environment.
  • Topical Application/Massage: Dilute 3-5 drops per 10ml of carrier oil (such as jojoba or coconut oil) for a calming massage or skin-nourishing treatment. Always perform a patch test first.
  • Bathing: Add 5-8 drops to warm bath water for a relaxing soak that soothes the body and mind.
