Benjoin Resin: A Natural Treasure with Multiple Virtues

An Ancient and Precious Heritage

The benjoin resin, also known as jaoui or benzoin, is an aromatic substance derived from trees of the genus Styrax.
Used since antiquity, it is renowned for its purifying, soothing, and medicinal properties.

Even today, it remains highly valued in spiritual, therapeutic, and cosmetic practices.

Origins and Harvest

Benjoin is mainly harvested in Southeast Asia (Laos, Indonesia, Thailand).
The resin naturally flows after the bark is incised, then solidifies into aromatic tears.

There are two main varieties:

  • Siam Benzoin: sweet and vanilla fragrance, widely used in perfumery.
  • Sumatra Benzoin: more resinous and woody scent, appreciated for its medicinal properties.
