Extraction

Frankincense essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the resin exuded from a specially incised stem. It appears as a pale yellow liquid with a warm, sweet, resinous-balsamic scent.

Properties

Non-toxic and non-irritating, Frankincense essential oil has anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, sedative, and healing properties; it is recommended for treating dry skin, wrinkles, and scars.
It blends well with Myrrh absolute, all spicy oils, and the essential oils of Orange, Basil, Bergamot, Camphor, Cinnamon, Cedar, Geranium, Lavender, Neroli, Opoponax, Ethiopian Frankincense, Black Pepper, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Ginger. Combining these with citrus oils creates intriguing notes, effectively toning down the sweetness of the top note.

Uses

Frankincense essential oil is used in perfumery and cosmetics both as a fixative and as an ingredient (especially in oriental fragrances).

Botany

Native to the regions bordering the Red Sea, Frankincense is also known as Olibanum or Gommathus. It is a graceful small tree with rich foliage and pinkish-white flowers that grows wild throughout northeastern Africa. The resin it produces is harvested primarily in Ethiopia, Somalia, and southern Arabia.
