Certified Organic Opoponax Oil from Somalia - Wildcrafted Resin

Certified organic Opoponax essential oil is derived from resin, and its scent is reminiscent of myrrh, as both come from the same botanical genus, Commiphora. It has a deep, warm aroma with earthy, woody, and sweet notes that helps ground emotions and promote inner harmony. It is an excellent support for meditation and skincare.

Opoponax supports skin regeneration by reducing redness, imperfections, and excess sebum. A few drops in skincare blends can help restore skin and its natural balance.

Opoponax oil is obtained from the resin of trees growing in densely forested regions of Somalia and Ethiopia.
