Frankincense Essential Oil – Carteri is a pure, steam-distilled essential oil derived from the hardened gum resin of the Boswellia carteri tree, native to arid regions of the Middle East and East Africa. The resin begins as a milky-white sap that solidifies on the trunk and is carefully collected for distillation. This prized variety of frankincense is known for its warm, grounding aroma and its skin-renewing benefits. Rich in anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds, it supports skin regeneration, improves elasticity, and visibly reduces the appearance of fine lines, scars, and discoloration—making it a favorite in anti-aging and wellness formulations.

 

  • Aroma: Dry, diffusive, and bright citrus top notes over a deep, resinous coniferous, slightly peppery and balsamic undertone.
