Benefits:
Good for dry, cracked or chapped skin. It is also antiseptic and can be used in the treatment of fungus irritations of the skin. Benzoin tincture has a vanilla like odour and may be used in a similar way to an essential oil. It may be combined with other essential oils and used in a massage base oil, although it may tend to make the base oil slightly cloudy. May be used as an inhalation but may not be taken internally.
How to Use:
Inhalation directions Add 5-9 drops of the tincture to a bowl of hot, steaming water. Place a towel over your head and bowl. Inhale the vapours for a number of minutes. Ensure that you keep warm after removing the towel.
Latin name - Styrax benzoin
Benzoin tincture is made from a resin obtained from the styrax benzoin tree. Add it to your own cosmetics to moisturise dry skin and to help preserve the product.
