Description

Gum Benzoin Sumatra is a premium-quality natural balsamic resin obtained from the Styrax benzoin tree species, native to Indonesia. Characterized by its reddish to greyish-brown appearance and distinct storax-like aroma—unlike the vanilla scent of the Siamese variety—Sumatra Benzoin is especially valued for its cinnamic acid content.
