Introduction to Balsam Tolu Oil
Balsam Tolu Oil is a resin oil obtained from the Myroxylon balsamum tree, native to South America. It is known for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, often used in aromatherapy, skincare, and to promote respiratory health. The oil has a warm, sweet fragrance and is commonly used in the treatment of skin conditions, coughs, and colds. It is also utilized in cosmetic formulations for its ability to promote skin healing and relieve inflammation.
Extraction Process
The oil is extracted by steam distillation of the resin collected from the Myroxylon balsamum tree. The resin is tapped from the tree, and the essential oil is then separated from it. The process ensures that the oil retains its medicinal properties and soothing aroma, making it a valuable ingredient in various therapeutic applications.
