Peru Balsam Oil Extra

Peru Balsam is a pathological product which exudes from the truck of the large Central American tree Myroxylon pereirae, when the bark is removed section wise from the tree. Peru balsam is a dark brown, viscous but pourable liquid.

The odor is the typical 'balsamic' one: rich, sweet, cinnamic-benzoic, soft and very tenacious, showing an increasing vanillin like note on drying out.

Note: the balsam does not truly 'dry out' when exposed to air.

A true natural resinous balsam. Contains high esters of benzoic and cinnamic acids.

Caution:
External use ONLY.
May cause sensitization by skin contact.
Do not use undiluted on the skin.
Keep away from children & pets.
Store away from heat and light.
