Description: Myrrh Essential Oil is a versatile ingredient sought after for cosmetic and homeopathic formulations, personal care remedies, aromatherapy, and spa treatments. Classified as a base note essential oil, myrrh oil is said to blend well with citrus oils due to its contrasting earthy aroma.
