Umuthi Balsam Peru Resin Essential Oil is a pourable balsamic resin from Myroxylon peruiferum , used mainly as a fragrance and fixative ingredient in soaps, creams, lotions, detergents, and perfume blends. It has a rich balsamic character that helps add warmth and depth to aromatic formulations. Despite the product title, this should be treated as a resinous aromatic ingredient rather than a light, typical essential oil. It is a concentrated material and should be used carefully in properly formulated products.
♡ Why we love it: This is a useful material when a blend needs a deeper, warmer base note. It brings a classic resinous richness that can help round out fragrance blends and make them feel more complete.
