Free in the Bible, Restricted on Amazon: Why the Ban on Myrrh Resin?
Myrrh resin, a substance mentioned multiple times in the Bible and used for centuries in various cultural and spiritual practices, is now facing restrictions on Amazon.
"And they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh." – Matthew 2:11
My Myrrh resin listing was recently flagged and removed by Amazon, citing concerns related to synthetic cannabinoids or restricted chemicals. However, Myrrh resin is a completely natural aromatic substance with a long history of traditional use.
Other sellers have also reported similar issues, despite the fact that Myrrh is not a synthetic product and has been used for centuries in incense, meditation, and cultural practices. Meanwhile, other natural resins like Frankincense remain available without restriction.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Why is Myrrh resin being misclassified, and is there a way to resolve it? Let’s discuss.

I can't give you a helpful advice. We just know that Amazon takes sudden decisions without telling us the reason. You can't fight against Amazon. If they don't want to sell your product you can't do anything.
... you could say the same thing about cannabis, when cultivated organically....

Surprised it took this long for your listing to get flagged!
Had the same issue about 2 years ago. I had a thread open about it, but I would have to dig to find it.
Short answer that you dont want to hear, your listing will likely not be reinstated.
I had appealed several times with pictures of box from every angle, product from every angle, invoices from supplier, supplier direct website, a letter from supplier indicating it was non synthetic, and only was made of natural oils etc, import documents from us customs passing inspection, you name it, we supplied it as evidence.
Appeal was denied over and over again.
Eventually gave up and delisted the product and moved on.
For whatever reason, Amazon has it out for the scent of "Myrrh". Every other scent we have (which is like 50) are listed just fine.
You can try to appeal - but I would assume you will not have much luck
