Detailed description
Organic Boswellia carterii Frankincense essential oil is derived from resin tears collected from frankincense trees native primarily to Somalia. This species is one of the most commonly used and widely recognized forms of Frankincense in aromatherapy.
Known for its warm, sweet, and subtly citrus-resin aroma, Boswellia carterii offers a powerful combination of grounding and uplifting qualities. Its organic certification ensures the resin is harvested from trees grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, preserving the purity and natural complexity of the oil. The resin is sent to France where it is distilled into the oil.
Extraction Method
The essential oil is obtained through steam distillation of the hand-harvested resin. This method separates the volatile aromatic compounds from the heavier resins, resulting in a beautifully balanced therapeutic oil.
Viscosity
The oil exhibits a medium viscosity, with a lightly resinous, silky texture.
Color
Organic Boswellia carterii Frankincense essential oil is typically clear to pale yellow.
Odor Profile
Its aroma is warm, sweet-resinous, woody, balsamic, and slightly citrusy, with smooth, meditative undertones. The scent is spiritual, grounding, and subtly uplifting.
