Compound benzoin tincture balsam tolu

Storax is mainly used as an ingredient of Compound Benzoin Tincture (see aloe, balsam tolu, and benzoin). 

Benzoin tincture contains 10% benzoin in alcohol, while the compound formulation also contains 2% aloes, 8% storax, and 4% tolu balsam in alcohol. Occasionally, allergic contact dermatitis occurs to these preparations or derivatives in Ar-ning s tincture (besides benzoin, tumenol ammonium, anthrarobin, and ether), adhesives, water repellent barrier creasms, lozenges, and cosmetics (Spott and Shelley 1970). Cross-reactions occur to balsam of Peru, storax, eugenol, vanilla, a-pinene, benzyl alcohol, and benzyl cinnamate (Hjorth 1961).
