Frankincense Carterii Essential Oil (Boswellia carterii)

Origin: Somaliland | Extraction: Hydro-Distilled | Plant Part: Resin (Wildcrafted)

Our organically crafted Frankincense Carterii Essential Oil is hydro-distilled from the wild-harvested resin of Boswellia carterii trees growing naturally in the arid landscapes of Somaliland. This precious oil unveils a harmonious aromatic profile—smoky-lemony top notes merge seamlessly into a sweet, woody-resinous heart and a soft, balsamic finish. Used for millennia in spiritual rituals, traditional medicine, and high-end skincare, Frankincense remains one of the most revered botanicals in aromatherapy.

The Boswellia carterii species is particularly prized for its rich concentration of boswellic acids—compounds renowned for their soothing, anti-inflammatory, and skin-regenerating properties. It’s no wonder Frankincense is cherished as both a sacred essence and a therapeutic powerhouse.
