CAS: 9000-72-0
Benzoin Resinoid Siam Pure (CAS: 9000-72-0) is a natural oleoresin extracted from the resin of the Styrax tonkinensis tree, primarily found in Southeast Asia. It is obtained through solvent extraction of the raw benzoin gum. It is highly valued for its warm, sweet, balsamic, vanilla-like aroma with a slightly caramelic nuance. The resinoid is a viscous, amber-colored liquid or semi-solid.
Benzoin Resinoid Siam Pure is widely used as a fragrance ingredient, fixative, and flavoring agent. Its rich, comforting aroma makes it popular in various consumer products. It also has traditional uses in aromatherapy and perfumery for its soothing and grounding properties.
In perfumery, it serves as a key base note, providing warmth, depth, and tenacity, especially in oriental, vanilla, gourmand, and amber fragrances. It acts as an excellent fixative, prolonging the scent of other more volatile components. In cosmetics and skincare, it is included for its aromatic properties and perceived soothing effects on the skin. In food and beverage industries, it is utilized as a natural flavoring agent to impart vanilla-like and sweet balsamic notes, particularly in confectionery, baked goods, and some beverages. It is also found in incense, potpourri, and other home fragrance products.
Benzoin Resinoid Siam Pure is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory bodies like the FDA when used as a flavoring agent in appropriate concentrations. However, like many natural extracts, it can cause skin sensitization in susceptible individuals, particularly with prolonged or high-concentration skin contact. It contains components such as coniferyl benzoate and vanillin. Patch testing is recommended for individuals with sensitive skin. Phototoxicity is generally considered low, but discretion is advised.
