Myrrh is a resinous gum obtained from a tree distributed throughout
the Mediterranean, Asia and the Middle East. This aromatic resin is
thought to be named from the Arabic word murr, which means “was bitter.”
Depending on locale, myrrh is also known as Bola, Didthin and Opopanax.
Powdered myrrh is ready to incorporate into your cosmetic and aroma
formulations. A little goes a long way in terms of the contribution of
resinous oils and fragrance to soaps, lotions, perfumes and incense
blends. The bitter yet spicy notes blend beautifully with other aromatic
spices, resins and essential oils.
