Last updated: April 2026 dataResinoids are concentrated aromatic extracts obtained by solvent extraction of natural resins, balsams, oleoresins, or plant exudates—products such as benzoin resinoid, labdanum, and myrrh resinoid that serve as fixatives and base notes in fine fragrance formulation. Unlike essential oils, resinoids are defined by their extraction from non-living or dried plant material using organic solvents, which distinguishes them from concretes and absolutes derived from fresh plant matter. Their high viscosity and complex chemical profile make them challenging to standardize, and buyers typically specify minimum aromatic compound content and solvent residue limits in procurement contracts. SITC 55133 is a narrow, specialized heading used primarily by fragrance houses and flavor manufacturers.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Resinoids are extracted from dried or aged plant exudates (resins, balsams, gum-resins) using organic solvents, while concretes are extracted from fresh plant material and absolutes are further processed from concretes by alcohol washing. The source material—dried resinous exudate versus fresh botanical—is the primary classification distinction, though in practice the terms are sometimes used loosely in trade, making supplier documentation of the extraction process important.
For resinoids used in food or flavor applications, FDA's food additive and GRAS frameworks set limits on residual solvents from the extraction process. Fragrance-grade resinoids used solely in cosmetics or perfumery are not subject to the same FDA food standards, but the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) publishes usage guidelines that many buyers require suppliers to certify compliance with.
