Frankincense essential oil promotes calm breathing and inner peace , while also regenerating and soothing the skin , helping to improve its appearance and comfort. It is a "top-tier" skin oil with a very elegant, understated character.
Frankincense Essential Oil (Boswellia carterii)
Certified Organic Essential Oil from Somaliland
The scent of frankincense —fresh, balsamic, warm, and woody—has for centuries helped create spaces of peace and connection. This batch from Aromatics International is distinguished by its high β-myrcene content (16.51%) and developed sesquiterpene fraction, giving it a softer, more enveloping character and a deeper aftertaste compared to batches strongly dominated by α-pinene.
The presence of serratol (0.58%) is an interesting marker of heavier resin fractions – not every distillation retains this component in this proportion, which is an interesting marker of resin authenticity. Not every batch contains it.
Frankincense oil supports deep, clear breathing, especially during meditation, during cold season, or for daily respiratory health support. It's also suitable for facial care.
