Myrrh is one of the oldest used aroma's going back to the time of the ancient Egyptians. It was one of the ingredients used in incense for religious ceremonies, fumigation and embalming. It was also used in perfume, as a cosmetic to reduce wrinkles and maintain a youthful appearance.
Ethiopia is the preferred source of myrrh tears (resin) by many and CO2 extraction process draws more of the tears natural composition. Sometimes steam distilled myrrh essential oil from Ethiopia is not as dark or sweet as other origins but is still considered a better oil produced from better tears. CO2 extraction is able to draw out more of the sweetness and rich brown color. In perfumery, myrrh is a fixative used for its quality to hold a blend of oils on the skin to make the scent last. With Myrrh prices rising so quickly, this is a great value and would be an excellent form to consider for those designing a fine aromatic, therapy or perfumery formula.
