Wild Benzoin (Styrax benzoin & ricinus communis)

Back by popular demand - our wild Benzoin in organic Castor. This version was earlier discontinued and replaced by the new organic Benzoin in MCT. But due to its popularity we have decided to offer it again as part of our extensive range. Botanical Name - Styrax benzoin & r icinus communis Aroma - Sweet vanilla Extraction Method - Resin is released from the tree when the bark is incised. Pure Benzoin is a solid resin at room temperature therefore it is gently heated and combined with organic Castor Seed Oil (ricinus communis) to render it more mobile. The concentration is 80% Castor to 20% Benzoin. We find this a much nicer and much more natural alternative to the commonly available Benzoin/Propylene glycol option. Part of Plant - Tree resin Country of Origin - Indonesia Chemical Constituents - Coniferyl benzoate, benzoic acid, benzyl benzoate Uses - Soothing and warming. Benzoin helps soften and moisturise dry, chapped and hard skin. It can help to form a protective layer on the skin\
