Benzoin will need to be heated before use. Make a small bain-marie for the bottle to make the oil a liquid consistency. You will need to remove the dropper cap to decant the oil.
Benzoin essential oil is a warming remedy, traditionally used in eastern medicine.
A natural decongestant, benzoin oil can help open up airways and allow easier breathing in the face of cold and flu symptoms.
Benzoin's aromatic properties allow it to mask unpleasant odours, whilst its stimulating, circulation-boosting abilities help keep us warm in colder months.

Our 100% Pure Benzoin Essential Oil has a rich, honey-like smell that gives it an air of indulgence and expensiveness.
