Latin Name: Styrax Tonkinensis

Common Names: Gum benzoin, gum benjamin

Origin Country: Indonesia

Styrax tonkinensis, commonly known as Vietnamese styrax, is a species of flowering tree in the Styracaceae family, native to Southeast Asia, particularly found in Vietnam, Laos, and parts of China. This tree is known for producing a resin called benzoin.

Benzoin Siam Incense Resin is a fragrant resin. It is harvested from the tree’s bark, and once collected, it is typically dried and ground into a fine powder, which is commonly used in incense production. Known for its sweet, warm, and balsamic scent, Benzoin Siam is a key ingredient in both traditional and modern incense blends, offering a rich aroma that is often described as earthy, vanilla-like, and smoky. Benzoin Siam also has applications in cosmetic formulations and is sometimes included in perfumes and skincare products for its pleasing fragrance and soothing effects on the skin.

– In Aromatherapy

Add 1–2 teaspoons of Benzoin Siam powder to a diffuser tray or aromatherapy burner that is designed for resins. If your diffuser has a heating element, it will warm the resin and allow it to release its fragrant oils into the air.

You can mix a small amount of water with the powder to create a better evaporation effect—refer to your diffuser’s instructions.

– Topically Use

Boil 1 cup of distilled water and let it cool to room temperature. Add 1 teaspoon of Benzoin Siam powder into the cooled water and stir well to create an infusion. Allow the mixture to sit for 10-15 minutes and then strain it to remove any solid particles. Pour the liquid into a clean glass bottle or spray bottle and use it as a toner after cleansing your face.

 

Storage: To store Benzoin Siam incense powder resin, keep it in an airtight container placed in a cool, dry, and dark location. Avoid exposure to heat, sunlight, and humidity, as these can degrade its aromatic and resinous qualities. A glass jar or metal tin with a tight seal is ideal to preserve its fragrance and prevent the resin from becoming sticky or drying out.
