Gum Benzoin (Styrax Benzoin) is a balsamic resin obtained from the bark of several species of trees in the genus Styrax.

The benzoin we supply is derived from the trees of Sumatera Province of Indonesia hence it is also called as Sumatra Benzoin. The colour of new material is White. Gradually the colour changes to yellowish and then to reddish.

Benzoin is a common ingredient in Incense-making and Perfumery because of its sweet vanilla like aroma and fixative properties. In Arab countries it is burned on charcoal as an Incense. It is also used in the production of Bakhoor (Arabic scented wood chips) as well as various mixed Resin Incense. In the Unites States, Sumatra benzoin is customarily used in pharmaceutical preparations. Other applications are in Cosmetics, Scented Candles, as a flavouring in Alcholic and Non-Alcholic Beverages, Baked Goods, Chewing Gum, Frozen Dairy, Gelatins, Puddings and Soft Candy.
