ATTENTION: This is not Breu Branco essential oil, a blend or an extract. It is the pure resin of the tree, solid.

"Breu-Branco" or white Breu, it is a resin (or sap) from an Amazon tree, in the US it is virtually unknown but in Brazil it is used by perfume companies and can be distilled as an essential oil.

The resin itself has been used by the forest population for centuries for its many uses.

Churches and tribes used to burn it for it's aromatic scent with calming and concentrating properties.

USES:

So far I have used it ground in scrubs and a soap I made (as seen in the picture). It can be carried in your purse or put in your drawers (inside a little muslin bag) for it's forest scent. You can use it as incense to cleanse and bring clarity.

Powder: Coloring and scenting soaps, masks, scrubs.
