Humco Benzoin Compound Tincture 2 oz by HUMCO

Description

Tincture of benzoin is a pungent solution of benzoin resin in alcohol. Tincture of benzoin has two main medical uses: as a treatment for damaged skin in the "Compound" form, and as an inhalant in the non-Compound form. Compound Tincture of Benzoin (CTB) is often applied to skin before applying tape or other adhesive bandages. To some degree, it protects the skin from allergy to the adhesive in the tape or bandage, but mostly it makes the tape or bandages adhere much longer. It is also used by athletes for its reputation of toughening skin exposed to the tincture. Orthopedists applying a cast often spray CTB in an aerosol can onto skin before casting, as it protects the skin under the cast, and diminishes itching. It can be applied to minor cuts as a styptic and antiseptic (an effect of both the benzoin and its alcohol solvent).
