Opoponax oil is a member of the Burseraceae family. This oil has a bittersweet undertone with some herbaceousness. It is classed as a middle note and blends well with citrus, herby, minty and woodsy oils.
Opoponax is commonly used for cleansing and purification rites. It is also known to be great for the skin and helpful for calming the mind and letting go of stress.
Essential oils can be applied topically once diluted with a carrier oil. They are widely used in cosmetic goods and handmade crafts.
