This extremely RARE myrrh resin is sourced from Socotra Island (Yemen) and is highly prized for its harmonious perfume-like aroma which is notably different to all other myrrh varieties. Due to its scarcity it can take months, if not longer, to secure this rare resin. Where possible we'll always try to offer pre-orders to ensure you don't miss out.
To ensure integrity and transparency, we regularly update our product photos to show our 'fresh current batch' of resins. Choose from a range of resin size to suit your personal needs.
To ensure our resins are always FRESH, we don't keep excess stock. When we sell out of our current batch, we turn on our "Pre-Order" button which means you can reserve your NEW FRESH resins from our NEW FRESH HARVEST.
As we move through nature's seasons, enjoy the variation in colour and resin size, depending on the amount of rainfall for the season.
Tip: Kua is a particularly delicate resin and works best on a 'cool' charcoal. At home, we tend to pop Kua onto our charcoal towards the middle of the charcoal burning time. This helps to ensure Kua's incredible nectar-honey aroma that it's known for is released without a burnt smell. You can also protect the resin from burning by using a light sprinkle of sand on your charcoal.
This is a rare opportunity to experience Commiphora Kua.
Usage Tips
Tip for burning Kua: Kua is a particularly delicate resin and works best on a 'cool' charcoal. At home, we tend to pop Kua onto our charcoal towards the middle of the charcoal burning time. This helps to ensure Kua's incredible nectar-honey aroma that it's known for is released without a burnt smell. You can also protect the resin from burning by using a light sprinkle of sand on your charcoal.
Tip for burning on charcoal:
Once your charcoal disc is fully lit we recommend leaving it to cool for about 5-10 minutes (longer if burning Kua) or until it turns grey before placing your resin on top of the charcoal. This helps to release the natural oil from your resin without burning it with intense heat. Remember, once the bottom of your resin starts to burn, safely flip it over with a pair of mini tongs to get the most out of your resin. Tip for burning on a tea light burner:
After your resin has been gently heating for about 45 minutes (depending on your resin size and dimensions of your burner) you'll notice your resin may start to burn. This is when it needs to be turned over. We recommend using a pair of mini tongs to safely flip your resin over and squash it once it's been softened by the heat. Squashing the resin open will expose it to a greater surface area of heat which helps to optimise the benefits of your resin.
Tip if your resin size is too big:
We recommend using a hand mortar and pestle (or similar tool) to create your desired size (if required).
Storage & Safety
Storage:
Resins are a natural product and need to be stored with care. Store in a cool, dry place away from UV sunlight exposure.
Safety:
Here at Frankincense Pure we only recommend burning frankincense and myrrh resins. We understand there may be people who choose to chew or ingest, however, we are not medically trained and can only recommend resin to be enjoyed by being burnt safely – on either a charcoal or tealight incense burner, for aromatic purposes.
To safely burn incense, either on charcoal or in a tealight incense burner, ensure it’s out of sight and reach of children and pets and that the area is well ventilated. Never leave your burner unattended and always ensure your burner is placed and remains on a heat proof surface when in use, away from all flammable items. Brass, stainless steel and similar type burners remain HOT when in use, never handle when in use.

Opoponax Hadi Sweet Myrrh Somalia (Commiphora Guidotti)
from $11.25
⭐️ Sustainably and ethically harvested at fair market rates. Love for earth with 100% compostable pouches. ⭐️
Indulge in the alluring aroma of this distinct Somalia-sourced Myrrh resin known as Opoponax, Hadi and Sweet Myrrh. From the Commiphora Guidotti species, this variant offers an aroma you won't find anywhere else - one that instantly captivates and enthralls. If you're looking to experience a Myrrh that has a noticeably different scent profile than that of the Commiphora Myrrha from Somalia, and a softer scent more similar to Commiphora Kua from Socotra Island Yemen (one of our personal favourites), this Myrrh resin is a must-try.

Aksha Myrrh Socotra Island Yemen (Commiphora Ornifolia)
from $18.50
Aksha Myrrh is Extremely RARE and hails from Socotra Island's Commiphora Ornifolia tree. Aksha Myrrh (Commiphora Ornifolia) is very different to any other myrrh we've tried, but probably most similar to Commiphora Mukul and Commiphore Wightii with a sweet, syrupy aroma with a hint of spice. We find this scent highly nuanced and keeps you wanting to enjoy the symphony of aromatic notes.
For those that have not yet tried these other Myrrh resins, one could liken Aksha Myrrh of the Commiphora Ornifolia tree to Kua Myrrh (Commiphora Kua) from Socotra Island Yemen, however the scent profile is slightly different, while very enticing in its own way.
Aksha Myrrh (Commiphora Ornifolia) is very sticky, which could be one reason why it's only collected in small quantities and is reportedly used by locals mainly for medicinal purposes to aid in digestion.
We love the aroma of this resin, particularly on our Ceramic Tea Light Incense Burner and Brass Adjustable Tea Light Burner because the resin melts very smoothly.
On a Charcoal Incense Burner a smaller piece goes a long way and the aroma wafts through the air beautifully.
Guggul Myrrh India (Commiphora Wightii) Mukul
from $11.25
6 OCTOBER 2024 - NEW ADDITION
Guggul (Sweet Myrrh) has a pleasant and calming aroma that is similar to Opoponax Commiphora Erythrea and Opoponax Hadi Sweet Myrrh (Commiphora Guidotti) from Somalia.
When burned, Guggul resin releases a complex and sweet fragrance, making it a popular choice. However, the scent of Guggul is distinct from the more well-known Myrrh from Somalia (Commiphora Myrrha) and Yemen, which have deeper, woodier fragrances.
This versatile resin is also referred to as Commiphora Wightii, Commiphora Mukul, Indian bdellium, gugal, guggulu, guggal, gugul, mukul myrrh tree, and belongs to the flowering plant family, Burseraceae.
Originating from western India, it was later introduced to southern Pakistan and throughout the Middle East.
