Myrrh CO2 Extract 5 g

A resinous ingredient favored in perfumery and mature-skin care formulations

Myrrh CO2 extract is obtained through supercritical carbon dioxide extraction from the resin of the commiphora tree, native to the Arabian Peninsula and East Africa. This extraction method preserves the full complex of resin acids and sesquiterpenes without thermal degradation or residual solvents, which is why CO2 extracts are valued far above conventional tinctures or absolutes. Their active compound concentration is notably higher, and the composition remains stable from batch to batch. This product belongs to the CO2 Extracts section, which brings together concentrated botanical extracts intended for professional formulation work.

The primary application of myrrh lies in the fragrance industry: the extract contributes a deep, resinous, slightly balsamic base note used in niche perfumery, candle scenting, incense blends, and oriental fragrance compositions. The second major field is premium skincare, where myrrh is incorporated into creams and serums for mature or fatigued skin thanks to its ability to support firmness and address visible signs of aging. The extract also appears in lip balms, aftershave products, and formulations for blemish-prone skin, valued for its astringent and refreshing properties. In aromatherapy, myrrh is included in oil blends designed for meditative practice and massage compositions.

Recommended dosage of myrrh CO2 in finished formulations typically ranges from 0.1 to 1 percent of total product weight, since the extract is highly concentrated and exceeding this level can produce an overpowering scent or irritate sensitive skin. It should be added at the final stage of preparation, at a temperature not exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, to avoid breaking down volatile aromatic fractions. The resinous texture dissolves well in carrier oils, waxes, and alcohol-based bases, so pre-diluting it in a small amount of fatty oil before blending into the main mixture is a practical approach.

Myrrh pairs beautifully with other resinous and woody notes. In perfumery and skincare blends, it works harmoniously alongside Birch CO2 Extract, which lends a smoky woody undertone, while for fresher, lighter compositions it combines well with Chamomile CO2 Extract, softening the sharpness of the resin. In formulas targeting aging skin, myrrh is often paired with Pomegranate CO2 Extract, which adds an extra antioxidant boost to the product.

The 5 gram package is suited for home cosmetic making, trial batches, and testing new formulations before scaling up to larger production. This quantity is enough for several dozen serum bottles or a trial run of candles and fragrance compositions. Store the extract in a tightly sealed container, in a cool dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, to keep the aromatic compounds stable throughout the shelf life.
