This aromatic resin has been used for beauty for hundreds of years. Ancient civilization thought it was an important magic weapon to exorcise evil spirits, and it was often used for fumigation and incense burning. Benzoin is more popular because it is contained in the chewing gum of ascetic monks. In ancient materia medica, benzoin was often called "resin benzoin", "gum" or "resin benmingjie". An old-fashioned emulsion "virgin milk" contains benzoin, lavender and ethanol. It is generally believed that it can make the skin "bright and bright", but now it is mostly used as a fixative in perfume.
