What does benzoin smell like?

Benzoin has a distinctive scent that is often described as warm, rich, and balsamic. Many people compare its sweetness to vanilla, sometimes with subtle undertones of caramel or honey, which contributes to its reputation as a comforting and grounding fragrance.

Why is this oil diluted in DPG?

In its pure form, benzoin resin is extremely thick and can be difficult to use. Diluting it with dipropylene glycol (DPG) reduces the viscosity, making the oil much easier to handle and pour while maintaining the characteristic aroma of the resin.

Can I use this oil for skincare?

Yes, benzoin is frequently included in skincare routines to help soothe the feeling of chapped or dry skin. Always ensure it is properly diluted in a suitable carrier oil or base product before applying it to the skin to ensure comfort and safety.
