Frequently asked questions

Some questions and answers are automatically generated.

How fine is the powder?

Reviewers consistently praise the fineness of the grind. The powder is double-ground and sifted according to the description, making it fine enough for infusions, oils, waxes, and alcohol without further processing. One customer noted it is much finer and more uniform than frankincense resin they had ground themselves.

What does the scent smell like?

Customers describe the aroma as beautiful, deep, resinous, earthy, dry, and very natural, with sweet amber and citrus notes. One reviewer noted it has a warm, dry, root-like resinous quality that develops beautifully on skin when infused in oils.

Is it good for making salves and tinctures?

Yes. Multiple reviewers report using it successfully for making salves, tinctures, and medicated oils. The powder infuses well into oils and waxes, and customers note it mixes easily when making topical medicines.

Does the powder stay dry?

Yes. Reviewers specifically note receiving 'perfectly dry powdered frankincense,' and the description explains the powder is sifted and spread to dry after grinding to prevent clumping. This dry quality makes it easy to work with.

Does it contain Boswellic acids?

Yes. The description states this Boswellia Sacra frankincense is rich in Boswellic acids present in the resin itself (not the essential oil), making it suitable for preparing therapeutic oils, salves, and tinctures where those compounds are desired.

How fresh is the powder?

According to the description, the seller grinds only what is needed and never lets powder sit around the studio long—when it is gone, more is ground fresh. This approach ensures the powder is always fresh rather than old stock purchased from brokers.

Does it burn clean as incense?

Yes. A reviewer noted it 'burns clean,' and multiple customers mention using it as incense. The description notes frankincense has traditionally been used as incense and medicine in churches and temples worldwide.

Is this the best powdered frankincense available?

One long-time customer called it 'the best quality of powdered frankincense on the market' and states they will not search for another vendor. Many reviewers are repeat customers who compare it favorably to other sources or their own grinding efforts.

I avoid buying powdered herbs or spices unless I have absolutely no choice. Mainly because I don't know how long they have sat losing their potency, but also because I know unscrupulous suppliers will often use low-grade material or siftings from the bottom of bags they otherwise could not sell. You can hide a lot in a powder... Often reputable retailers who buy powdered material from brokers have no idea how old the powder is and what went into it. You could say when it comes to big business, I have trust issues....

Grinding my own fresh herbs and resins guarantees high-quality material for my work and for my customers.
I use my freshest and best quality resins and only grind as much as I need. Powder never sits around long in the studio. When it is gone, I grind some more so it is always fresh.

The grinding process of Frankincense Sacra powder is not as simple as it could be.
I grind my resins at least twice in an electric grinder to attain a fine powder that will dissolve easily. Each time I grind Frankincense or Myrrh, I sift and spread the powder out to dry for a day or two or it will clump and need to be reground. The first grind is fairly coarse and, in my opinion not fine enough to easily infuse oils, waxes or alcohol. The powdered Frankincense I sell in the shop is twice powdered and sifted. It is fine enough for whatever the purpose might be. Also, it is easy enough to powder it finer if you desire by running it through a mortar and pestle, coffee or herb grinder at home.

A staple of churches and temples around the world, Frankincense Sacra resin is traditionally used as incense and medicine. Its essential oil is distilled for perfumery and aromatherapy.
IThis is one of 6 Frankincense types that is rich in Boswellic acids which have been shown in studies to be anti-inflammatory and combat cancer, (In the laboratory)..

It is easy to work with and its beautiful fragrance follows it through every product you make.
