HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Benzoin Non-Alcohol by Hawaii Pharm

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.

This product contains one active ingredient: wild harvested Benzoin powder extract. Benzoin is a resin traditionally used topically for skin care.

The product is delivered in a non-alcoholic liquid base made with vegetable palm glycerin and Hawaiian water.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Benzoin product and its label doesn't state a use — see Benzoin's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for benzoin's ability to help with wound healing is insufficient to rate — we don't have reliable data on file to confirm whether it works for that purpose. If wound healing is what you're after, talk with your doctor about what the science supports for your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Benzoin

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Benzoin is generally used topically and considered low-risk for most people when applied to skin, though it can cause contact dermatitis and other skin reactions in some folks — the rate of localized contact dermatitis in clinical trials is 8% to 9%. Allergic contact dermatitis and urticaria (hives) have also been reported.

Topical use is not well studied, and internal use should be avoided. Safety during breastfeeding is not well studied, so if you're nursing, check with your healthcare provider before you use it.

Benzoin Non-Alcohol is a topical product generally well tolerated on skin, though skin reactions and allergic responses do occur in a small number of users. Stick to topical use only — don't swallow it.

Benzoin Non-Alcohol by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Benzoin Non-Alcohol by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Benzoin Non-Alcohol. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Benzoin Non-Alcohol contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I use this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Safety during pregnancy is not on file for this ingredient. Safety during breastfeeding is also not well studied, so use caution and ask your healthcare provider before you use it while nursing.
What should I watch out for when I use benzoin topically?
The main concern is skin reactions. Contact dermatitis and allergic skin reactions have been reported, including hives and localized redness. A small number of people in clinical trials — about 8% to 9% — experienced localized contact dermatitis. Stop using it and talk with your doctor if you notice rash, itching, or other skin changes.
Is this safe to swallow or take internally?
No — avoid internal use. If swallowed, benzoin has been reported to cause stomach inflammation and gastrointestinal bleeding. This product is for topical use only.
Does benzoin actually help wounds heal?
The evidence we hold doesn't allow us to say for certain. The data on benzoin and wound healing is insufficient to rate, so we can't confirm whether it works. Talk with your doctor about your wound care options.
