About the material

Opoponax is a trade name used for more than one Commiphora resin. This one is Commiphora guidottii from Somalia, locally known as Hadi and often called sweet myrrh for its softer, sweeter, less bitter character compared with traditional myrrh.

Source & preparation

Sourced from Somalia and offered in its natural, irregular resin form.

Appearance & natural variation

The resin comes as irregular natural pieces with varied tones and textured surfaces.

Size, shape, color, and surface character vary naturally. Pieces may be lighter or darker, and a small amount of natural resin dust may be present.
How to use

Use as loose incense on its own, or blend with woods and other resins for soft balsamic sweetness. Break pieces down as needed to suit your burner or recipe.

Soul Space warmer: Use a small piece of aluminum foil over the mesh when warming resin on its own.
Storage

Store closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.
Safety & handling

For aromatic use only. Do not ingest or apply to skin. If warming or smoldering, use in a well-ventilated area on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Never leave heat or flame unattended. Keep away from children, pets, drafts, and flammable materials. Allow tools and surfaces to cool completely before handling.
