Myrrh Essential Oil (Commiphora myrrha)

Certified Myrrh essential oil (Commiphora myrrha) has a deep, resinous aroma with a balsamic character, featuring soft, warm, and subtly spicy notes. For centuries, myrrh has been valued for its calming properties – it helps soothe the mind and promotes inner harmony.

The chemical profile of this batch is exemplary for top-quality Myrrh from Somalia: furanoeudesma-1,3-diene (30.97%) and curzerene (21.17%) dominate, with significant contributions from lindestrene (8.17%) and β-elemene (7.28%). This compound composition explains the deep, soothing character of the aroma and its very good skincare properties (soothing, regenerating, antiseptic). This is a therapeutic-grade essential oil, consistent and pure. The proportions of sesquiterpenes and furans are well-balanced – the oil will not be overly heavy, retaining a subtle warmth and a slightly spicy depth.

In skincare, it supports the skin's natural radiance, soothes irritations, and helps limit the growth of microorganisms that can cause imperfections. In daily care, it helps enhance the skin's natural glow and feeling of comfort.

Our certified organic Myrrh essential oil is obtained by hydrodistillation from the resin of small, thorny trees growing in the dry, desert landscape of Somalia.
