PERU BALSAM | Essential Oil

$14.00

Pure Myroxylon balsamum essential oil.

Myroxylon finds its origin in the Greek language, where it signifies "fragrant wood." True to its etymology, Peru Balsam essential oil has a rich, honeyed, and balsamic aroma with soft woody nuances. This aromatic resin has been used by Indigenous populations for centuries; its earliest recorded use dating back to ancient Mayan culture, where it was burned as ceremonial incense. It contains high levels of naturally occurring vanilin, lending the resin its distinct vanilla-like aroma.

Essential oils, absolutes, and other pure plant extracts should not be applied to the skin without being properly diluted in a cosmetic carrier (such as jojoba oil, ethanol, epsom salts, etc.) Always patch-test when using an essential oil or absolute for the first time, and research whether or not the extract you are using is skin-safe, or that it is appropriate for its intended use. Do not ingest essential oils or apply them internally, and avoid contact with the eyes.
