Frankincense essential oil is extracted through gentle steam distillation from the precious resin of the Boswellia carterii tree (belonging to the Burseraceae family) and is historically also known as Olibanum. The word originally stems from the Old French word "franc," meaning lush or abundant. Frankincense was, together with myrrh, the very first natural resin used by humans as incense. The tree originates from the Middle East and often grows in a fascinating, natural bonsai formation in the dry and barren landscape. In fragrance traditions, frankincense has symbolized divinity and purity for thousands of years.

This exclusive oil is one of the most highly prized and revered in aromatherapy for its deeply calming, grounding, and meditative fragrance profile. It is particularly popular as a luxurious, pre-blended body or massage oil for meditation, yoga, and deep relaxation, as well as a nourishing component in cosmetic skincare routines to promote a balanced and harmonizing sensation.

Ancient Egyptians burned frankincense as sacred incense in their temples and used it as a nourishing ingredient in traditional face masks. They also ground the charred, aromatic resin into a fine powder called kohl, which was used to beautifully accentuate and define the eyes—a style often seen in classic Egyptian art. The earliest historical evidence of frankincense use was found in a funerary inscription from the time of the Egyptian Queen Hatshepsut in the 15th century BC, describing how the precious smoke was used to effectively purify the air in rooms and drive away evil spirits from the court.
