2Mages 3Resins Gift Package

Composition: pure resin collected in the wild, cleaned and sorted by hand. 100% organic with no added chemicals

Source: These resins were harvested in 2025 by members of the Beeyo Maal cooperative in the Sanaag and Saahil regions of Somaliland. They were sorted, cleaned and packed by the women of the cooperative and flown to Europe.

Instructions for use: light a charcoal. Wait a few minutes until most of it is grey with ash; then place the resin siftings on the charcoal. Use your hand to waft the smoke towards your face and breathe it in. Sit back and enjoy for 20-30 minutes, replenishing when the resin has melted. A better alternative is to use an electric resin warmer with an adjustable thermostat, and slowly heat the resin. This will release the active agents, including the prized neuro-active incensole, while minimizing the pollution of your airways through charcoal smoke. 

Why burn resins? These resins contain not only the same molecules as the essential oils made from them, but also bio- and psycho-active incensoles and boswellic acids, providing a wider scope of benefits. Humans have inhaled burnt resins for thousands of years, thus connecting you to this collective experience. Continuous direct inhalation is not recommended because some harmful substances are released during the burning, but occasional use will cause no harm. Beware: the smoke can trigger a smoke detector.

Benefits: When burnt, frankincense and myrrh purify the air and cleanse the space of negative energies. This is why they were burnt in ancient Egyptian temples, a practice that was later adopted by Rome and Christianity. It would most likely also be effective to prevent the spread of Covid-19 and similar airborne diseases in closed spaces. Burning resins in the cold winter months helps keep the flu away and supports your respiration.

In terms of spiritual wellness, frankincense and myrrh are considered conducive to meditation and contemplation.

Storage and shelf-life: These resins are packed in an aluminium can with a screw lid. They have no date of expiry. If burnt in one thousand years (as one can experience with amber, another resin) they will still release their beneficial molecules.

Fair trade: We pay what the members of the cooperative think is a fair price. In addition, 10% of the listed price (excl VAT) is donated to the Beeyo Maal foundation to improve working conditions among harvesting communities and the regeneration of frankincense forests. See our page on conservation and trade issues. Another 10% is invested in the activities of Arawelo, which seeks to establish a new model for trade in products collected in the wild by indigenous communities worldwide by building short supply lines to consumers while facilitating research and advocacy.
