Myrrh Essential Oil
CHOOSING THE RIGHT MYRRH ESSENTIAL OIL FOR YOU
Myrrh, derived from the resin of the tree Commiphora myrrha, belongs to the Burseraceae family, the same botanical family as Frankincense. Myrrh has a rich history in traditional medicine and aromatherapy, valued for its cooling, soothing, and rejuvenating properties for the skin and its powerful cleansing effects. Its antioxidant properties make it a popular choice in skincare, particularly for extra dry skin caused by aging. Composed mainly of sesquiterpenes, which add depth and longevity to fragrances, and monoterpenes, known for their absorptive properties, Myrrh Essential Oil is a versatile addition to both aromatherapy and skincare routines.
