Mbiri Namibian Myrrh Essential Oil

Namibian Myrrh Essential Oil is an aromatic blessing from the dry African earth that echoes the desert’s mystery and speaks of timeless beauty traditions. The plant traditionally known as Omumbiri exudes this precious resin, which is the inspiration for the Mbiri range. The resin is steam distilled to extract an essential oil known as Namibian Myrrh, which has a clean, earthy, slightly spicy fragrance that will uplift your spirit and evoke a sacred sense of calm. Namibian Myrrh is also anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory and a boon for the skin overall. All Mbiri products are 100% natural and contain certified organic ingredients. 

This exquisite resin is the core inspiration for the Mbiri Range and is sustainably collected by the Himba women of Kaokoland, who have traditionally used it as a natural fragrance. It has many healing properties for body, mind and spirit. The brand is approved by Phytotrade Africa, a fair-trade initiative that promotes community enterprises throughout southern Africa.
