Omumbiri Essential Oil is a steam-distilled, wild-crafted oil from the aromatic resin of Commiphora wildii, harvested from sun-drenched Namibian deserts. Known locally for millennia, this wild Myrrh resin has traditionally been blended with fats and ochre for skin care and ceremonial use.
This oil exudes a warm, amberous lemon-balsam scent that leans more toward frankincense than traditional myrrh, and is rich in skin-soothing sesquiterpenes, providing deep hydration, toning, and softening effects.
