Myrrh Resinoid is a concentrated, aromatic extract derived from the resin of the Commiphora wightii (or Commiphora africana) tree, which is found primarily in Africa and the Middle East. Unlike Myrrh Essential Oil, which is extracted through steam distillation, Myrrh Resinoid is obtained through solvent extraction, making it thicker, more viscous, and highly aromatic. The resin is carefully harvested from the tree, then processed to extract the deeply fragrant and potent oil, which is often used in both aromatherapy and natural skin care.
Myrrh Resinoid has a rich, earthy, and warm scent with balsamic, smoky, and slightly sweet undertones. It is highly valued for its therapeutic properties, including its powerful anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and healing benefits. In skincare, Myrrh Resinoid is commonly used to promote the healing of wounds, cuts, and scrapes, and is known to help reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks. It also has moisturizing and rejuvenating effects, making it beneficial for dry and aging skin. Additionally, Myrrh Resinoid is often used in aromatherapy for its grounding and calming effects, reducing stress and anxiety while promoting emotional balance and clarity.
