Benzoin oil has a sweet, warm, vanilla-like aroma and blends particularly well with lavender, rose and sandalwood essential oils. It is often used when caring for wounds and on acne, as it is believed to have antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties.
Essential oils should not be applied directly to the skin and are usually mixed with a base or carrier oil like sweet almond, grapeseed, jojoba or avocado. Add a few drops to your bath water, or you can use this oil for a pleasant fragrance in an oil burner or diffuser.
Always consult an authorised practitioner when using essential oil as a health remedy.
