Myrrh Balm 50g

Myrrh Coco Balm is a rich, comforting balm made with one of the most precious resins in history. Myrrh is the golden-red resin of a small, thorny tree that grows in the dry, rocky lands of the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, in Somalia, Ethiopia, Yemen and Oman. Its name comes from the Arabic word murr, meaning "bitter". For thousands of years, myrrh was worth more than its weight in gold. Camel caravans carried it along the ancient incense routes. Around 1500 BCE, Egypt's Queen Hatshepsut sent a famous expedition to the "Land of Punt" to bring back living myrrh trees. The Egyptians used myrrh in their skin-care preparations and perfumes, and it was famously one of the three gifts brought by the wise men, along with gold and frankincense. In this balm, golden Myrrh resin is slowly infused into pure Coconut Oil and blended with natural Beeswax. The result is a smooth, protective balm with a warm, gently earthy scent. It nourishes and comforts dry, cracked and rough skin.

Do not apply to open wounds or to broken, bleeding or infected skin, or near the eyes.

Myrrh can occasionally cause skin allergy. Patch test before first use.

Avoid if you are allergic to coconut or bee products. Contains Beeswax, so it is not vegan.

Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool place, as coconut oil softens and melts in warm weather. This doesn't affect the balm.
