Two of the oldest traded resins on earth, pre-diluted and ready for the bath.
Frankincense and myrrh have been burned, carried, and exchanged across trade routes connecting the Arabian Peninsula, East Africa, and the Mediterranean for thousands of years. This formula brings them into water — Boswellia sacra and Commiphora wildii, in a jojoba base that allows the resins to disperse across the bath rather than float on the surface.
The effect is thermal and atmospheric. The resins open in warm water differently than they do in air — slower, deeper, more resinous than aromatic. Twenty minutes is enough to change the quality of the rest of the evening.
Add several drops to a warm bath, swirl to disperse, and skip the soap. The oils do the cleansing.
Frankincense and Myrrh Bath Drops, 2oz
Myrrh · Commiphora wildii Sourced from Scent of Namibia, a native and woman-owned cooperative that harvests and distills myrrh essential oil in Namibia. The cooperative is community-rooted — proceeds support school construction and local infrastructure alongside fair harvester wages. Commiphora wildii is distinct from the more common Commiphora myrrha — dryer, more resinous, with a sharper medicinal edge.
Frankincense · Boswellia sacra Sourced through Save Frankincense, a conservation project dedicated to monitoring wild Boswellia populations, paying fair wages to harvesters, and creating sustainable tapping incentives across the regions where these trees grow. Wild frankincense trees are under pressure globally from overtapping — this sourcing relationship is a direct response to that.
Jojoba · Simmondsia chinensis Certified organic, from a farm in Arizona. Jojoba functions as the carrier here — its structural similarity to human sebum allows the resin compounds to absorb rather than simply coat the skin.
