Umuthi Frankincense (Serrata) Pure Essential Oil

<p>
Umuthi Frankincense (Serrata) Pure Essential Oil is a steam-distilled essential oil from the gum resin of
<em>Boswellia serrata</em>
. Also known as Olibanum, it has an earthy, woody and slightly spicy aroma that is valued in diffuser blends,
meditation blends, skincare formulations, and natural perfumery. This is a concentrated essential oil and should
always be diluted before topical use. It is not the same species as Frankincense Carterii, so the two should be
treated as related but distinct frankincense options.
</p>
<p>
♡ Why we love it: Frankincense Serrata has a deeper, earthier feel that works beautifully in grounded aromatic blends.
It is especially useful for natural perfumers and formulators who want a resinous base note with a classic incense
character.
