INCI: Boswellia carterii

Escentia Frankincense Carterii Pure Essential Oil (Boswellia carterii) is a single-ingredient essential oil steam distilled from frankincense gum resin and used in aromatherapy, room fragrancing, and diluted skin and body blends. It is especially valued for its rich, resinous aroma and is often chosen for meditation-style blends, evening routines, and more grounded aromatic profiles. This is a pure essential oil, not a ready-to-use facial oil, toner, or body product. Because it is concentrated, it should always be used with care and proper dilution.

♡ Why we love it: Frankincense is one of those timeless oils that brings depth, calm, and a beautifully centred feel to a blend. It works just as well in simple diffuser rituals as it does in more thoughtful facial and body oil formulations, which makes it a lovely staple for both everyday use and more intentional aromatic routines.
