Pranarôm Sumatran Benzoin Essential Oil (10 ml) soothes the emotions, repairs damaged skin, and purifies the air with a warm, vanilla-scented, and calming fragrance.
Pranarôm’s Sumatran Benzoin Essential Oil is extracted from the resin of a tropical Asian tree, Styrax benzoin. It is known for its calming, comforting, and healing properties, both for the mind and for the skin. Its warm, balsamic, vanilla-like, and slightly amber scent evokes the incense of the East and instantly creates a soothing, enveloping atmosphere. It is ideal for helping to manage moments of stress, anxiety, or emotional fatigue. Whether inhaled or diffused, it acts as a true olfactory cocoon, promoting relaxation and serenity. A comforting balm for the soul and the skin
Thanks to its high content of benzoic and cinnamic acids, benzoin is known for its healing, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is particularly recommended for:
chapped skin,
cracks,
skin sores,
skin irritations or redness.
When combined with a nourishing plant oil (such as calendula or shea butter), it forms a protective and restorative balm, perfect for dry or damaged areas. It also soothes itching and leaves a gentle, comforting scent on the skin without irritating the epidermis.
Used since ancient times in rituals and incense, Sumatran benzoin is also an excellent air freshener and purifier. When diffused, it eliminates unpleasant odors (tobacco, cooking, musty smells), creates a warm atmosphere, and promotes meditation. Combined with oils such as sweet orange, myrrh, or olibanum frankincense, it transforms any room into a haven of peace. It’s also an excellent choice to accompany a yoga session, a sophrology practice, or an evening ritual before bedtime. A sacred fragrance to purify the air and create a Zen-like atmosphere.
