About the material

Also known as sweet myrrh or Hadi, this Commiphora guidottii resin has a softer, less bitter character than myrrh.

Source & preparation

We source our Hadi opoponax from Somalia. Hadi is the Somali name for this resin.

Appearance & natural variation

Natural, irregular resin pieces in warm amber, reddish brown, and deeper brown tones.

Pieces vary naturally in size, shape, color, and surface texture. Occasional small chips or resin dust may be present.
How to use

Warm a small amount of resin on its own or combine it with other botanicals in a loose incense blend. Place a small piece of aluminum foil over the mesh screen before adding the resin to protect the screen and make cleanup easier.
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.
