THE ORIGIN Frankincense trees grow wild in Somalia, North Africa. Other varieties are cultivated in Oman, Yemen, South Saudi Arabia, Western Ethiopia and Western India.

WHAT EXACTLY IS FRANKINCENSE? Frankincense is an aromatic resin, the sap of the Frankincense tree. The Essential Oil is extracted through steam distillation of the resin.

(For the perfume industry, a resinoid absolute is produced through solvent extraction.)

HISTORICAL & TRADITIONAL USES Frankincense has played a very important role in the religious ceremonies of Ancient Egypt, Persian, Hebrew, Greek and Roman civilization. Particular as an aromatic incense and in religious rituals of these ancient cultures.

Frankincense has always been considered an important ingredient in cosmetics.
