Our Whole Benzoin Gum is a natural aromatic resin derived from the Styrax benzoin or Styrax tonkinensis tree. Presented in irregular chunks or tears that range from pale yellow to deep amber, this resin is prized for its warm, sweet, balsamic aroma. Hard and brittle at room temperature but soft and tacky when warmed, benzoin gum is a versatile ingredient commonly used in incense, perfumery, and traditional aromatherapy.
