Why a 50% Elemi Resinoid in BB (benzyl benzoate) is convenient and desirable

Ease of use and dosage

• Easy to dispense: a 50% solution makes precise application of small amounts much easier than with a thick, tough resin; you dispense liquid instead of sticky mass.
• Consistent batches: suppliers can guarantee a constant concentration, so formulations are reproducible without having to constantly correct for variable viscosity of pure resinoid.

Processability in formulas

• Improved miscibility: benzyl benzoate is a common solvent in perfumery and allows the resinoid to dissolve quickly and homogeneously in alcoholic and oil-based carriers.
• Suitable for various wearers: the BB solution mixes well in hydroalcoholic perfumes, oil solvents and many cosmetic bases, requiring less pretreatment or heating.

Stability and shelf life

• Less oxidation and hardening: diluting in BB limits contact with air and makes the resinoid less prone to rapid hardening or clumping, improving storage and use life.
• Even quality: the solution dampens small variations in batch quality of the raw resin and provides a more stable final product.

Safety and hygiene

• Easier to handle: liquid solutions do not stick, reduce waste and facilitate equipment cleaning.
• Measurable active fraction: you know exactly 50% of the weight volume is active resinoid, which is important for risk assessment and dosage calculations.
