Myrrh has been utilized for thousands of years as a fragrance, medicine and spiritual aid. Ancient Egyptians used it as a preparation for eternal life; the Greeks as a medicinal treatment and perfume; and in Biblical times, it was famously gifted to the baby Jesus upon his birth. This precious ingredient has been used in traditional Chinese medicine since the seventh century and has long been a staple of Ayurvedic medicine.
This ancient ingredient has found new life in the world of beauty and skincare, due to its natural purifying, anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties. Myrrh is widely used in aromatherapy to calm, soothe and relax the mind and body and its sensual, warm, woodsy fragrance is blended into luxurious perfumes.
Myrrh begins as a resinous sap harvested from Commiphora trees, native to the deserts of northeast Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. Inna Organic eco-sources its myrrh according to the strict standards of the Oregon Tilth Certified Organic (OTCO) program. This ensures the precious ingredient is organic and sustainably harvested with consideration to social equity. Our commitment to ethically sourcing myrrh exemplifies Inna Organic’s motto, “Glow from within: Clean Beauty. Clean Conscious.” We carefully combine our myrrh with a complimenting trio of essential oils: clary sage, lavender and patchouli. This creates a richly layered aromatherapy experience.
