DESCRIPTION

Balsam Peru Oil occurs as a yellow to pale brown, slightly viscous liquid having a sweet, balsamic odor. It is obtained by extraction or distillation of Peruvian Balsam obtained from Myroxylon pereirae Royle Klotzsche (Fam. Leguminosae). Occasionally, crystals may occur within the liquid. It is soluble in most fixed oils, and is soluble, with turbidity, in mineral oil. It is partly soluble in propylene glycol, but it is practically insoluble in glycerin.
