Onycha was a prized aromatic mentioned in Exodus 30:34: “And the Lord said unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, Onyca, and galbanum; these sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like weight.”
A prized aromatic mentioned in Exodus 30:34, Onyca stirred debate—whether it refers to a shellfish or a plant. The great Jewish scholar Rashi suggested that Onyca is a kind of root, while the Talmud states it came from an annual plant. Some scholars believe that styrax benzoin may be the plant’s source for onychia. Like frankincense and myrrh, benzoin is a resin. Onyca was traditionally known for its comforting and soothing properties as well as its benefits for the skin. Ancient people used it to improve complexion and to help nourish the skin. Perhaps some of the beneficial aspects of benzoin were due to not only the oil itself but also the other oils compounded with it.
