How to use

Dilution
Dilute at a percentage of 0.6% of the finished blend, 1ml of essential oil (approx. 4-5 drops) to 100ml of carrier oil. Do not use undiluted on the skin.

Aromatherapy
Blend with other calming oils and let the comforting scent of Benzoin wash over you.

Massage
Blend with a carrier oil of your choice to create a relaxing massage oil blend. We love Sweet Almond #215 and Grapeseed #210.

Top Tip
As Benzoin is a viscous oil, you may need to warm it slightly to improve the rate of flow from the bottle. To do this, you can rub the bottle between your hands or simply stand the whole bottle in a little warm water for a few minutes.

Beauty Hack
Can be used in your homemade formulations like soaps, candles and other self-care products.
