- Peru Balsam is a type of gum resin or sap that is formed and exuded from the Peru Balsam tree which is found in El Salvador. Like Vanilla, the resin is steam distilled to make an oleoresin and not a true essential oil. Oleoresin essential oils do not dissolve into oils or water and when added to carrier oils, it will sink to the bottom of the container. To infuse Peru Balsam into a carrier oil, shake the container and let it sit for a few weeks and shake well before using this delicately aromatic oil blend.
- Peru Balsam is a warming and slightly stimulating oleoresin. Traditionally used in South America for a number of reasons it is best known for its relief of skin problems, as respiratory support for bronchitis and for nervous tension. Try it to help slow healing wounds like ulcers and hemorrhoids and bed sores. As an anti-inflammatory, it's excellent for itchy skin issues such as eczema.
- It is always wise to skin patch test essential oils you have never used before and wait 24 hours. Peru Balsam is no exception. If you have a skin reaction that includes redness, soreness, itchiness, swelling or blisters you have an allergy to that particular oil. That being said, Peru Balsam can be a common cause of allergic contact dermatitis to about 4% of the population.
- This base note has a soft balsamic-like scent that is sweet, and slightly bitter and carries woody, subtle undertones of vanilla and cinnamon. Peru balsam oil has a very thick molasses-like consistency. It's often been used by the perfume industry as a fixative to extend the life of perfume and cologne.
