Native to the forests of the majestic Amazon region, the
large and evergreen Breu Branco tree produces a fragrant
resin from its trunk that is sharp, piney and pungent.
Known locally in Brazil as ‘Breu Branco’, it belongs to the
Burseraceae family similar to Frankincense and Palo
Santo, sharing similar chemical compositions. The
essential oil is rich in P-Cymene and possesses a fresh,
smoky, resinous and woody aroma. The resin has long
been used in toiletries, soap and cosmetics and is a
common component in fragrances and essences.
