Key Ingredients

100% Pure Boswellia carterii (Frankincense) oil

Our wild crafted Frankincense essential oil originates from Somalia. It's extracted using steam distillation, where the oil is drawn from the resin or sap of the tree, to produce a thin essential oil with a very faint yellow tinge.

Product Details

Frankincense essential oil has a warm, rich and resinous aroma with sharp top notes that give way to a deep, woody scent. It’s a popular choice for meditation and moments of reflection due to its ability to ground emotions and harmonise both the body and mind.

Emotionally

Frankincense has a calming, uplifting quality that can help to ease an anxious mind and encourage emotional balance. It’s a popular choice to help deepen the breath during meditation and yoga, and can help people to find a peaceful pause on a busy day or during times of transition.

Physically

On the skin, Frankincense is nourishing and rejuvenating. It can be used as a natural tonic that’s especially beneficial for dry or maturing skin types. This essential oil has been treasured for centuries for its ability to improve skin quality and support a healthy-looking complexion. When used in massage, it can also help to relieve muscular tension, particularly where stress or emotional strain is held in the body.

Frankincense is also thought to support the respiratory system, offering a sense of relief when you're feeling physically or emotionally congested.

Frankincense essential oil has a warm aroma with oriental notes that deepen and become sweeter as it evaporates.

Aromatically, Frankincense is a base note essential oil, the longest lasting scent in a blend. It blends well with Bergamot, Black Pepper or Sandalwood.

Originating from the North of Africa and Oman, Frankincense essential oil comes from the resin that oozes from the damaged bark of the tree. The resin is called ‘tears,’ and it differs in colour from slightly opaque to a golden yellow.
Frankincense has been used throughout history as an ingredient of incense across different religions and cultures. Many people have strong spiritual associations with this oil, as it has the ability to soothe and calm the breath. It works well as a meditative aid.
