Frankincense Essential Oil
INCI Name: Boswellia Serrata (Frankincense) Oil
Frankincense Oil is a pure essential oil steam-distilled from the gum of Boswellia serrata, a hardy tree that is indigenous to the Middle East. The resin extracted from the trunk begins as milky-white sap which hardens into a gum resin and scraped off for steam-distillation. This variety of Frankincense has a harsher aroma than the popular Carterii species, carrying a strong spicy balsamic note. Frankincense Serrata is sought after by wellness centers, spas and yoga centers for meditation and aromatherapy blends.
Frankincense has natural astringent character. It is useful as a fragrance fixative and extender in perfumery.
