50ml Frankincense Essential Oil (Dilute) – Boswellia Carterii | 5% in Grapeseed Oil | Somalia

Discover the sacred, resinous depth of pure Frankincense Essential Oil in this luxurious 5% dilution in Grapeseed Oil — ready to use straight from the bottle. Steam distilled from the resin of Boswellia Carterii sourced from Somalia, Frankincense — also known as Olibanum — is one of the most ancient, revered and spiritually significant botanicals in human history.

Warm, balsamic and deeply complex — with a rich, resinous sweetness, a subtle citrus brightness and a soft, woody depth — Frankincense has been treasured across cultures and civilisations for thousands of years. Its name derives from the Old French 'franc', meaning luxuriant or pure, and along with Myrrh it holds the distinction of being one of the first botanical resins ever used as sacred incense. The Boswellia tree is indigenous to the arid landscapes of the Middle East and East Africa, where it grows in a natural bonsai-like formation in some of the world's most parched and inhospitable terrain — a testament to its extraordinary resilience and rarity.

The ancient Egyptians burned Frankincense as holy incense, used it in sacred rituals and ground the burnt resin into a powder called kohl — the iconic dark eye pigment seen throughout Egyptian art. The earliest recorded use of Frankincense dates to a tomb inscription of the 15th century BC Egyptian queen Hatshepsut. It was offered to gods, used to fumigate the sick and carried along the ancient incense trade routes that shaped the ancient world. Frankincense is said to symbolise divinity itself.

Pre-diluted in lightweight Grapeseed Oil, this ready-to-use formulation makes the extraordinary fragrance and grounding properties of pure Frankincense effortless to enjoy every day. This 50ml size is ideal for professional therapists, skincare formulators and those who incorporate Frankincense regularly into their practice or product making.
