Description
Gurjan Balsam Essential Oil is a dark brown to reddish-brown liquid with a rich, woody aroma and balsamic undertones. It has a complex fragrance profile that combines resinous, earthy, and slightly sweet notes. It is derived from the Gurjan tree found in South Asia. 

Plant Part Used
The essential oil is extracted from the oleoresin obtained from the bark of the Gurjan tree (Dipterocarpus spp.), primarily Dipterocarpus turbinatus and Dipterocarpus alatus.
