Tolu Balsam Essential Oil

tolubalsam.jpgBotanical Name: Myroxylon balsamum var balsamum
Plant Part: Crude Resin
Extraction Method: Steam
Origin: Chile
Description: The Balsam of Tolu (Myroxylon balsamum) is a tall tree native to northern South America. The Tolu Balsam essential oil is derived from the wild tolu trees in Venezuela. The Balsam trees are tapped like rubber trees to collect their resin-like gums that are used commercially and sold as balsam. A tree must be at least 20 years old before it can be tapped because one tree only produces approximately 3 kg (6.6 Lbs) of gum annually.
Color: Pale amber/brown
Common Uses: Tolu Balsam has been used as an anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, antiseptic, cough suppressant, expectorant, and vulnerary agent.
Consistency: Heavy and very viscous
Note: Base
Strength of Aroma: Medium
Blends well with: Spices, floral and oriental bases, Petitgrain, Ylang Ylang, Patchouli, and Rose. Tolu Balsam is also highly regarded as a great fixative that binds other more volatile aromas and allows them to last longer.
Aromatic Scent: Tolu Balsam essential oil has a rich, sweet, balsamic, vanilla-like scent.
History: Tolu Balsam has a history of being an important ingredient in anointing oils of the Christian faith.
Cautions: Tolu Balsam can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Allergic reactions reported are generally skin rashes and dermatitis when the essential oil comes into direct, undiluted contact with the skin.

I love Benzoin so when I opened Tolu Balsam for the first time I was amazed. Not only does it have that honey/vanilla base but a spicey, cinnamon note to go with it. I was surprised that there were not more reviews. By itself or with a citrus, it is fabulous. I predict that is will become a favorite as more people find it. The only negative I have found is that it is so heavy and viscous. But it is worth the extra trouble to work with it.

This is a wonderful oil. Very light and sweet in scent. Even at 100% it is not overwhelming. It's very moisturizing and seems to also act as a toner for the skin. And also helps dead skin cells to release from the skin's surface. It doesn't leave any shine on the skin either. When diluted, it is gentle and a great bonus in a cream.
