Myrrh oil

Myrrh oil (CAS 8016-37-3), also sourced and traded in forms such as Myrrh Resin and Myrrh Absolute, is a steam-distilled or solvent-extracted product derived from Commiphora species.

With FEMA 2766 recognition, it functions as a natural flavoring agent, fragrance ingredient, and preservative across personal care, pharmaceutical, and food applications.

In cosmetics and personal care, myrrh oil is incorporated into oral care products, skin creams, and anti-aging formulations for its preservative and fixative properties.

Pharmaceutical manufacturers use it as a flavoring and active botanical component in oral rinses, throat preparations, and topical antiseptic products for industrial use.

As a FEMA-approved flavoring, it appears in food and beverage applications where warm, balsamic, and resinous flavor profiles are required for specific consumer goods.

In fine fragrance and functional perfumery, Myrrh Absolute serves as a base note fixative, extending the longevity of complex scent compositions in various luxury markets.

Myrrh oil is available as an essential oil, resinoid, and absolute, with Myrrh Resin also supplied as raw or processed gum for extraction purposes and bulk manufacturing.

Standard grades include food-grade and cosmetic-grade, with pharmaceutical-grade material available to BP and Ph. Eur. specifications where applicable for global supply.
