The amber in the blend.
Benzoin is a fragrant resin that seeps from the bark of the Styrax tree. Burned as incense and prized in fine perfumery for centuries, it is celebrated for its warm, balsamic, vanilla-like glow.
In our body polish, benzoin resin adds deep resinous character and functions as a natural fixative, helping the delicate floral top notes of neroli and the warmth of vanilla linger softly on the skin.
Key Benefits & Science:
-
Barrier Protection: Functions as a natural, breathable film-former that helps shield the skin against environmental dryness and seals in moisture.
-
Soothes & Comforts Chapped Skin: Packed with resinous compounds like benzoic acid and coniferyl benzoate, which help calm visible redness, comfort rough patches, and ease dry skin discomfort.
-
Natural Fragrance Fixative: Slows the evaporation of lighter essential oils, extending scent longevity on the skin long after your ritual.
Ideal For: All skin types, particularly dry, rough, chapped, or weather-exposed skin.
