Myrrh Essential Oil (Commiphora myrrha)

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

The chemical profile of this batch is exemplary for the highest quality myrrh from Somalia: predominant are furanoeudesma-1,3-diene (30.97%) and curzerene (21.17%), with significant contributions from lindestrene (8.17%) and β-elemene (7.28%). This composition of compounds explains the deep, soothing aroma and excellent skincare properties (soothing, regenerating, and antiseptic). This is a therapeutic-grade 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 feel comfortable.
Our certified organic myrrh essential oil is hydrodistilled from the resin of small, thorny trees found in the dry, desert landscape of Somalia.
