What is Peru balsam extract
An extract obtained from the resin of the Peru balsam tree (Myroxylon balsamum L.), one of the most prized resins in the herbal tradition. The extraction uses a hydroalcoholic method at a 1:1 ratio, preserving the full active compound profile of the resin.

The plant: Peru Balsam (Myroxylon balsamum)
The Peru balsam tree is a tropical tree from the Fabaceae family, native to Central America, particularly El Salvador. Despite its name, it does not come from Peru – the term dates back to the colonial era, when resins were exported through Peruvian ports. The resin is dark brown with a rich, warm aroma and is among the most recognised and valued resins in the global herbal tradition.
The resin is harvested by making incisions in the bark of the tree.
