Namibian Myrrh Essential Oil
Commiphora wildii
Namibian Myrrh is traditionally harvested by the Himba woman in the Kaokoveld of northwestern Namibia to use as a dry perfume or mixed with ochre and butterfat for beauty care. This precious oil has been distilled in a community-owned facility from the spiny desert shrub Commiphora wildii, creating a sustainable harvest and income to the people of the Kaokoveld.
