What’s in This Holiday Essential Oil Blend?

Peru Balsam Essential Oil

Peru Balsam Essential Oil has a sweet, vanilla-like aroma with a hint of cinnamon which makes this the perfect essential oil to add to this Vanilla Woods blend.

Benzoin

Benzoin Resin is a natural ingredient that is commonly used in the perfume industry because of its vanilla-like aroma and fixative properties which slow down the dispersion of essential oils and other fragrance aromas in the air.

Vanilla Oleoresin

Though this product is not technically an essential oil, Vanilla Oleoresin is commonly used in the same way. It can be blended with other essential oils, added to natural DIY recipes, and can be benefited aromatically.
