Opopanax 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.

Expecting Good Things!

I've been looking for uncommon oils for my skincare. I don't like following mass market trends so this oil was right up my alley and perfect for my face. I'm working on clearing my complexion and am expecting good things! I just started using it so I can't speak to it's effectiveness but so far so good.
