I AM MELANIN MAGIC'S SIGNATURE UUNSI.
Our fragrance rocks, known in wider ethnic circles as Uunsi and Bakhoor, are not only aromatic, but are aromatherapeutic. Our recipe is based on authentic Somali sources. Uunsi contains the finest ingredients that include, but are not limited to, authentic resins of amber, frankincense, myrrh, benzoin, onycha, oud, agarwood, perfumed oils, essential oils, spices, and so much more!
We choose only the finest ingredients and ensure the utmost authenticity. Our fragrance rocks are healthy and therapeutic as the essences used maintain many of their medicinal properties. You will find the scents calming, uplifting, and pleasing. The fragrance rocks can assist with fatigue, relaxation, and stress reduction.
The year 2023 marked the first year we shared our traditional Somali Uunsi recipe with the rest of the world. This particular recipe has been in our family for over 15 years by way of intermarrying. Through Tunisia Ali, I Am Melanin Magic’s Uunsi is a fusion of the creative expression of aromatics present in many Eastern and African cultures. This synthesis is combined with the genius inventiveness and originality of what of Mrs. Ali’s talents are. Her knowledge as a herbalist, aromatherapist and healing conduit, influences each flavor and has produced the I Am Melanin Magic brand of fragrance rocks. It is with great honor that we share this tradition with the larger community.
White Sage flavored Uunsi is one of our most popular fragrance rocks, second only to the original Uunsi flavor. For those of you who love to burn white sage to clear low vibrational energy and refresh your spaces, look no further. This concoction simmers with authentic white sage leaves and other white sage constituents within the original aroma, which has mild undertones. Release smoke in large rooms or burn it gently and release the oils slowly.
