Product Description
This organic frankincense oil is steam distilled from the resin of Boswellia carterii, a small tree native to the dry, mountainous regions of Somalia. The resin is carefully harvested by local communities using traditional methods, allowing the trees to rest and regenerate between harvests.
Frankincense has been valued for centuries across many cultures, particularly in the Middle East and North East Africa, where it has been used in daily rituals, skin care, and spiritual practices. Its distinct soft, woody, balsamic aroma is known for its ability to slow the breath and create a calm, steady state in the body.
When inhaled, frankincense oil can help deepen and regulate breathing, making it a useful support during quiet time, rest, or meditation. Applied topically in a diluted form, it is commonly used to support the appearance of the skin, particularly where there is dryness, uneven tone, or fine lines.
This oil is pure and undiluted, with no additives or fillers. It is suitable for use as part of a simple, daily routine focused on supporting the body naturally.
