What is Frankincense Essential Oil?
Frankincense Essential Oil is the steam-distilled essential oil of Boswellia carterii, in the Burseraceae family,. It is drawn from the hardened resin of the plant. Frankincense is the aromatic resin of the Boswellia tree, one of the oldest traded aromatics.
About the oil
Frankincense essential oil is steam-distilled from the hardened resin tears of Boswellia carterii and related Boswellia species. Distillation captures the resin's volatile aromatic compounds, chiefly alpha-pinene, limonene, and incensole, in a liquid form. The exact scent shifts by species: Boswellia carterii tends toward alpha-pinene, while Boswellia sacra and Indian frankincense (Boswellia serrata) differ slightly.
Frankincense has been burned as incense and used in ceremony across the ancient world for thousands of years, and it remains a foundational material in perfumery.
Aroma and character
The aroma of frankincense oil is warm, balsamic, and slightly citrusy and woody.

I go to the Herb Stomp locations on Belmont and Sandy. The staff there have always been knowledgeable, gracious, and welcoming. I particularly like discovering new products that I would not have ordering my purchases from an online vendor. 5/5 would go again.
