Opopanax Resin

Evoking the exotic landscape of Somalia, where it’s harvested in an ancestral process, opopanax resin has a deep, woody, rich aroma that may remind you of earthy frankincense or caramel. Known as “sweet myrrh” by the ancients, opopanax was prized for perfumes and body oils. It’s also used for sacred rituals, offering a sense of grounding, and focusing the mind. Burn it as incense over charcoal, in a wood stove, or in a pot of simmering water. You can also use this resin to infuse your own carrier oils.
