Opoponax or "Sweet Myrrh" as some call it, is a cousin of Myrrh. It grows in Eastern Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya and Somaliland. This one grows in Ethiopia. It is a natural oleogum resin just like myrrh. It is named sweet myrrh because it is not bitter like Myrrh but sweet-smelling and its taste is sweet also. In Ethiopia, it is also wild-harvested just like Myrrh is. If you put the two together they look rather similar. 

People have asked me how can you tell, oh you will know as soon as you smell each one. Opoponax has also a bit more orange to it while Myrrh is more reddish.

It can be used to make skin look fresh by making a tincture or an herbal infusion. Some actually use it to aid digestion and help with congestion.


I also sell it in granules/powder form for those who do not want to grind it down.

You can get it here: Opoponax- Commiphora guiddoti- Infusing Gravel/Powder (robinsresinsplus.com)


My goal is to sell quality resins at an affordable price. Some of you know me as the Queen of Resins because of the knowledge I have from constantly studying these resins and the friendships I have created with those who sell and harvest these beautiful trees.

These resins are harvested by Fair Trade Standards only.

I removed first class shipping because packages are taking too long to get to you, especially when purchasing salves, lotions and hydrosols.  First Class can take anywhere from 7-15 days and I  would like everything to come to you safely.  Also First Class it is way harder for the post office to check tracking.  Now there is only Priority Shipping and if you purchase $50 or more there is free priority shipping.
