We are so pleased to be able to offer this wonderful resin.

 

Formosa Storax, derived from the Liquidambar tree native to Vietnam, is a versatile resin celebrated for its rich, sweet, and balsamic fragrance. Its unique honey-amber aroma, enhanced by fruity and floral notes, makes it perfect for sweetening and adding an amber note to any incense blend. This resin is appreciated not only for its aromatic properties but also for its applications in traditional medicine, perfumery, and spiritual practices.

 

When preparing extracts or tinctures from Formosa Storax, it is recommended to filter the mixture while warm through a metal mesh screen or filter to ensure a smooth, clean consistency. The resin dissolves readily in warm oils and waxes, making it an excellent choice for crafting solid perfumes, balms, and salves. Additionally, it is soluble in alcohol, allowing for the creation of perfume tinctures.

 

For those looking to enjoy its aromatic qualities, a small piece of Formosa Storax can be placed on an electric heater. Adjusting the temperature gradually will allow different aromatic notes to emerge throughout the day.

 

If you encounter difficulty removing the resin from its packaging, simply place it in the fridge or freezer for about half an hour.

This resin is sticky, but it is easy to work with and breaks apart at room temperature

 

This price is for one Large Ounce.
