Ingredients: Myroxylon Balsamum Pereirae Balsam Oil
Peru Balsam essential oil is the liquid fraction of the resin from the Myroxylon pereira tree. The aromachemistry of both the resin and the essential oil are very similar but the essential oil is easier to formulate with due to it being readily miscible with your oil or alcohol phase.
Aside from its pleasing aroma, Peru Balsam also has anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and skin regenerative properties.
Key chemistry includes Cinnamyl Alcohol and benzoates.
