Opopanax Essential Oil

Commiphora guidottii

Opopanax essential oil is distilled from a resin and comes from the same genus as myrrh—Commiphora. It has a deep, dark aroma that’s earthy, woody, and sweet. Opopanax’s grounding scent can inspire inner harmony, making it a wonderful meditation aid. Opopanax can also harmonize the skin, creating a radiant complexion. Include a few drops in blends to help skin repair itself or to calm redness and blemishes. Our wildcrafted opopanax essential oil is steam distilled from the resin of trees in the thickly forested areas of Somalia and Ethiopia.

So grounding!

I use this in my very popular Relax & Chill Inhaler blend! It is one of my best sellers. Love pairing it with Palmarosa and Basil.
