Frankincense Sacra Essential Oil

Frankincense Sacra Essential Oil

Boswellia sacra

Frankincense Sacra is distilled from the resin of Boswellia sacra, a tree that grows wild in Oman. Ours is wildcrafted resin, hydro-distilled or steam-distilled depending on the batch, with that warm, resinous, balsamic aroma you expect from a good sacra.

The chemistry here is monoterpene country, around 91% of the oil on average. α-Pinene leads by a wide margin, typically 59-80% in our batches, and it is loved for its antimicrobial character. You will also see d-limonene (about 2-9%) and δ-3-carene (about 1-6%), a component known for its clearing, mucolytic quality. Frankincense is a favorite for meditation and for daily skin care that supports a clear, even skin tone, and sacra is especially well suited to supporting stress.

Every batch we bring in is independently GC-MS tested, and each batch's full report lives right here on this page.
