A Word From Verywell

Content: When purchasing essential oils, look for a supplier who either distills their own material or deals directly with reputable distillers and uses gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC/MS) to analyze the quality of the product. Why buying pure myrrh essential oil, check the label of its Latin name, Commiphora myrrha. No other oils ingredients should be listed. If you see another oil, such as fractionated coconut oil, jojoba oil, or sweet almond oil, the myrrh is diluted and should not be used in a diffuser. Myrrh oil should be packaged in a dark amber or cobalt blue bottle and stored out of sunlight. Once opened, myrrh essential oil may crystalize. Be sure to wipe the bottle opening clean before replacing the cap. Other Questions
