Benzoin Resin 100 g

Benzoin Resin is a solid natural resin obtained from the Styrax benzoin tree, native to Southeast Asia. It appears as light brown to amber fragments and emits a characteristic sweet, balsamic aroma.

Traditionally used in the production of varnishes for musical instruments, especially violins, and wooden surfaces, it provides a glossy and durable finish. Additionally, it is valued in perfumery and in the creation of incense and aromatic preparations.

Its good solubility in alcohol makes it particularly suitable for preparing varnishes that protect and enhance the natural beauty of wood.
