short description:

Benzoin essential oil is one of the most valued oil along with myrrh and frankincense. It was used as incense and perfume in ancient times. Its rich, warm, and vanilla-like scent is packed with health benefits such as its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Benzoin essential oil comes from the resin of the benzoin tree, a plant that belongs to the family Styracaceae. It is native to Southeast Asia. It has a grey bark with white bell-shaped flowers. Two of the most commonly used varieties are the Siam benzoin or Styrax tonkinensis and Sumatra benzoin or Styrax benzoin.

Siam benzoin has a sweet balsamic woody scent with a hint of vanilla. Its resin has a reddish yellow outer color with a milky white color inside. It is mainly used as a flavor for food and in cosmetics and perfume. The Sumatra benzoin has a reddish or grayish brown color with a sweet to spicy balsamic aroma. This variety is more favored in the field of pharmaceuticals for its many medicinal properties over the Siam benzoin.

Benzoin essential oil is extracted from the resin produced by its tree bark. The resin is harvested from the tree after it matures, which is about seven years. The key components of benzoic gum are benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, vanillin, and benzyl benzoate. Benzoic acid gives the oil its distinct scent well the phenylpropiolic acid gives it the balsamic note. Cinnamic acid gives the benzoin oil a honey-like scent while vanillin provides the hint of vanilla to the oil. The highest quality of oil comes from the Siam benzoin variety.
