Organic myrrh essential oil (bot. Commiphora myrrha) has a bittersweet, deep, balsamic scent. It has a calming and skin-regenerating effect. This essential oil is frequently used in intensive skincare formulas and is also well-suited for oral care blends. It has proven particularly effective when combined with frankincense essential oil for dry, cracked skin.
In aromatherapy for mental well-being, the scent of myrrh essential oil is also valuable for stabilization and upliftment, as well as for supporting the healing of emotional wounds.
The essential oil is extracted from the resin of a small tree that grows in arid, water-scarce regions of Africa. The resin is collected, dried, and sorted. It is then either used as resin (e.g., for incense) or processed into essential oil or extracts. The botanical names for myrrh are Commiphora myrrha and Commiphora molmol. Both are used synonymously.
