Myrrh
Commiphora myrrha
Why We Love It:
Myrrh has been used since ancient times as a perfume, an antiseptic, and in traditional medicine. Today, myrrh gum is used as an ingredient in our Diaper Balm and Diaper Oil due to its beneficial properties. This amazing resin helps support a healthy skin microbiome, while also being gentle on delicate skin — making it perfect for infant bottoms!
What It Looks Like:
Myrrh trees are found on the rocky hills of Ethiopia, Arabia, and Somalia. Myrrh is a thorny, flowering tree that seeps fluid from its resin ducts. When dried, the gum of the myrrh tree appears like amber-colored crystalline rocks.
