Hailing from Salvador, Bahia, this Benzoin resin is often used to create a calm and comforting atmosphere at home or in sacred spaces.
People use benzoin to help clear stagnant energy, support relaxation, and bring a feeling of emotional ease. In many traditions, benzoin is used during prayer, meditation, or moments of rest to help slow the mind and soften the mood of a space.
It is simple to use. Just a small piece burned on charcoal is enough to fill a room with its gentle aroma.
Our founder, Kumba Shakur, traveled to Salvador Bahia, where she sourced this benzoin resin from the famous Sao Joaquim spiritual market. She chose this rare resin variety for its revered healing properties, known to support emotional release. More than products, our offerings are experiences that transport you into new environments. They introduce you to new ways of living and seeing the world, which broaden your mindset, perspectives, opportunities and relationships.
