Overview
Benzoin resin is a balsamic resin obtained from the bark of several species of trees in the genus Styrax. There are two common kinds of benzoin, benzoin Siam and benzoin Sumatra, that are obtained from different species of the Styrax tree. While benzoin resin is used as a common ingredient in incense-making and perfumery, it is also used clinically as a mild antiseptic agent in over-the-counter products to clean sores, cuts, wounds, and skin abrasions as tincture of benzoin, or benzoin in a solution of alcohol. Tincture of benzoin solution is a topical adhesive agent used to provide tackiness and enhance the adhesive property of tape.

Indicated for mild antisepsis of skin, cuts, and abrasions.
