Frankincense Serrata is one of 6 Frankincense types that contain Boswellic Acids.

Frankincense Serrata has been used in Traditional Indian, Persian, Unani and Ayurvedic medicine for hundreds if not thousands of years. It has also been used in traditional cosmetic formulas for mature skin.

Frankincense Serrata Oleo Extract can be used as a base for a rejuvenating skin creme when blended with distilled water and emulsifying wax as per standard formulas or used neat on the skin as a massage oil.

Recent research is confirming the therapeutic effectiveness of the Boswellic acids in Frankincense. They are found in the resin portion of the different types of Frankincense and NOT the essential oils as popularly thought. The essential oils of Frankincense do NOT contain Boswellic acids except in trace amounts. The Boswellic acids can be accessed by using the fresh powder or dissolving the whole oleoresin in warm oil, alcohol or other solvents.

Frankincense Serrata Oleo Extract is a golden oil with the characteristic sweet amber/spice scent of Boswellia Serrata.
It is made with fresh Frankincense Serrata and Fractionated Coconut oil. It is powdered finely and processed gently in a warm water bath for a few hours to capture as much of the fragrance and resin-based compounds as possible. After the water bath, it left to sit and stirred daily for approximately a month and a half before it is filtered and bottled. No harsh solvents are used in the process.

It is produced Astrodynamically which is a method of preparation based on the tenets of traditional plant Alchemy and medicinal astrology. Experience has shown that products made this way distinguish themselves with improved colour, aroma, shelf life and efficacy.

It is easy to prepare your own Frankincense Serrata Oleo Extract and you can find instructions for making your own in the blog.

Amazing oil for the face

I've been using this frankincense oil as a part of my morning moisturizing routine, and all I can say is there's a reason it's been used for centuries. First of all, the smell is amazing, but it's also just the right consistency to go on smooth, then quickly be absorbed. The skin on my face is positively glowing :) It doesn't irritate my sensitive skin either, and I use it year round.

I really like it

I’ve been using this for 2 weeks and I really like it. It absorbs fast, doesn’t feel greasy, and my skin feels calmer and more even. No breakouts or irritation. The 5 stars are well deserved for me. Will repurchase.
