Frankincense (Undiluted)
Highlight: The undiluted incense that started aromatherapy, for your own blends.
Description
Frankincense (Boswellia neglecta) from Kenya delivers a warm, resinous, balsamic aroma with sweet, woody, incense- like undertones - one of the most sacred and revered aromatics in history. Steam distilled from frankincense resin, this pure, undiluted essential oil is a rich base note that anchors meditation rituals, contemplative diffusion, botanical facial oil blending, and evening body care. Aromatherapy enthusiasts and blenders prefer this concentrated, undiluted form when they want to formulate their own carrier ratios. Warmer and sweeter than Myrrh, rounder than Cedarwood - the incense that started aromatherapy.
