Aromatic Profile

A clear hydrosol with a deep balsamic direction, based on the client’s specification. It should be evaluated independently from concentrated Myrrh essential oil or resin extracts.

Quality Direction

• Use an approved retained batch to define the acceptable balsamic range.
• Investigate sour, fermented, musty or otherwise altered sensory notes.
• Treat significant change during storage as a possible stability or contamination signal.

Formulation & Usage

Myrrh hydrosol is a predominantly water-based distillate and is not compositionally equivalent to the resin or its essential oil. Product-specific analytical data are needed to establish its volatile profile.

Formulation Guidance

• Verify pH and microbial release criteria for every batch.
• Validate preservative efficacy in the final formula and package.
• Support the two-year shelf life through stability, microbiological and in-use testing.
• Do not transfer therapeutic claims from Myrrh resin or essential oil to this hydrosol.

Applications

Facial & Body Care

• Botanical toner or mist after finished-product safety assessment
• Water phase in gels, masks and light emulsions
• Body mists and after-cleansing products

Aromatic Formulation

Quality Control

Safety
