Myrrh CO2 Extract 100 g

A resin-based CO2 concentrate that brings warmth and longevity to fragrance and skin repair formulas

Myrrh CO2 extract is obtained through supercritical carbon dioxide extraction, a method that preserves the full range of resinous and aromatic compounds found in the natural gum resin without relying on solvents or heat that could break them down. This is exactly why perfumers and formulation chemists favor this extraction technique: the resulting concentrate stays remarkably close in composition to the raw resin of the Commiphora tree. The product belongs to the CO2 Extracts category, a collection of concentrated plant extracts with strong biological activity used across many industries. The 100 gram size fits studio brands and small production runs that need a steady, dependable supply rather than frequent small reorders.

Historically, and still today, myrrh finds its widest use in the fragrance industry. Its warm, balsamic, faintly smoky note serves as a base accord in oriental, chypre and amber compositions, where lasting depth on the skin matters most. Perfumery labs typically dose the extract at 0.1 to 1 percent of the total blend, adding it during the base note stage before lighter top notes are introduced. In skin care, myrrh extract is valued for supporting skin firmness and taking part in natural repair processes, which is why it appears in serums, mature skin creams, lip balms and after shave products. A separate and long standing application, confirmed by modern practice, is oral care: myrrh extract is included in toothpastes, mouth rinses and gum gels thanks to its astringent and refreshing character. Beyond that, the extract is used in premium scented candle production and in fragrance blends for household chemical products where a warm resinous trail is desired.

In formulations, myrrh extract should be added to the oil phase at a temperature no higher than 40 to 50 degrees Celsius to avoid breaking down its volatile components, or blended into an already cooled base at the final stage of production. Heating the extract above 60 degrees or exposing it to prolonged contact with air is not recommended. Store the product in a tightly sealed, opaque container in a cool place away from direct light to keep its aromatic and active properties intact for a long time.

Myrrh pairs well with other extracts from the CO2 line. In firming skin formulas it is often combined with Fucus CO2 Extract, which brings a mineral rich and moisturizing element to the blend. For formulas built around antioxidant support, myrrh is complemented with Green tea CO2 extract, while calming products for sensitive skin often pair it with Bidens CO2 Extract to soften potential irritation and add a soothing note to the finished product.
