Elemi Essential Oil

Grounding. Restorative. Radiantly Ancient.

Elemi Essential Oil is steam distilled from the resin of the Canarium luzonicum tree, native to the Philippines. Known for its fresh, lemony-balsamic aroma, it offers a beautiful blend of uplifting and grounding effects, making it ideal for emotional balance, mental clarity, and meditation.

Rich in monoterpenes, Elemi Oil supports respiratory health, clears congestion, and promotes skin rejuvenation, especially for mature or damaged skin. Its calming scent helps reduce stress, enhances focus, and blends beautifully with frankincense, myrrh, or citrus oils for therapeutic use.

Elemi Essential Oil is steam-distilled from the gum resin of the Canarium luzonicum tree, native to the Philippines. This rejuvenating essential oil is known for its lemony, fresh, and slightly peppery aroma with hints of frankincense, making it ideal for both emotional and skin care applications.

Belonging to the Burseraceae family (alongside Frankincense, Myrrh, and Opopanax), Elemi has long been treasured across ancient civilizations for its spiritual, medicinal, and cosmetic properties.

A Resin with a Rich Legacy

As the Elemi tree bursts into leaf, it begins to produce its honey-colored resin, which solidifies when exposed to air. This precious resin was used in ancient Egypt for embalming, valued for its preservative and aromatic qualities. It also held sacred roles in Middle Eastern and Turkish traditions, where it was revered for purification and healing.

Found primarily in the Philippines, Elemi also grows throughout parts of India, Australia, South America, and the Malay archipelago, where it’s still used in folk medicine to soothe aches, support skin health, and protect against environmental stressors.
