Tonkin Benzoin Absolute for Natural Perfumery Cosmetics and Fragrance Products
Tonkin Benzoin Absolute is a natural aromatic extract obtained from Styrax tonkinensis resin. It is valued for its warm sweet balsamic fragrance and is widely used in fine perfumery, natural cosmetics, candle production, diffusers, and handcrafted aromatic products. Within the Mylo Opt catalog, it belongs to the Absolute Oils Wholesale category.
INCI: Styrax Tonkinensis Resin Extract.
Benzoin Absolute provides a rich fragrance profile with vanilla-like sweetness, resinous warmth, woody nuances, and soft balsamic notes. Due to its intense aroma, it is normally used at low concentrations to build sophisticated fragrance compositions.

Oil-based fragrances
Benzoin blends beautifully with vanilla, tonka bean absolute, frankincense, sandalwood, patchouli, rose, jasmine, and citrus essential oils.

It can be incorporated into:
Body oils
Balms
Butters
Creams
Massage products
Aromatic skincare products
In oil-based systems, Benzoin Absolute works well with jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, macadamia oil, and argan oil.
For emulsions, it is usually pre-dissolved in the oil phase or a suitable carrier.
Candle and home fragrance production
Benzoin Absolute is popular in scented candles, wax melts, sachets, diffusers, and interior fragrance products.
Its warm sweet character creates cozy oriental, vanilla, woody, and seasonal fragrance concepts.
Compatibility with wax type, fragrance load, and production temperature should be evaluated before manufacturing.
Handmade soap production
Benzoin Absolute is used in artisan soap, aromatic bars, and handcrafted gift products.
It creates warm resinous fragrance profiles suitable for natural and premium-style products.
Small batch testing is recommended because alkaline soap processes may influence natural aromatic materials.
