Opoponax essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the oleoresin. When exposed to air, it tends to resinify. It appears as a slightly opalescent yellow liquid with a balsamic, warm, spicy, almost animalic odor.

Non-toxic and non-irritating, Opoponax essential oil has antispasmodic, balsamic, sedative and even healing properties; it is an excellent remedy against chapped skin, itching and wrinkles.

An excellent fixative and excellent fragrance component in perfumery and cosmetics, Opoponax essential oil is also used as a flavouring ingredient in liqueurs, especially when a winey note is needed.

Also known as "Myrrha bissabol", Opoponax is native to the Horn of Africa (southern Ethiopia - Harrar region - and Somalia). It consists of a large tropical tree similar to Myrrh which, like the latter, exudes an oily gum resin with a typical sweet-woody root scent between its bark and heartwood. When exposed to the elements, the resin darkens and hardens.
