Description
Also referred to as a resin Absolute, this is a fragrant pourable, honey-like liquid which contains ALL the fragrant compounds present in Frankincense Papyrifera, ie: both the essential oils and the aromatic resin of Boswellia Papyrifera. It is produced using food grade alcohol alone. No harsh chemical solvents were used in the extraction process.
This product contains all the Boswelllic acids found in Frankincense papyrifera as well as the psychoactive compounds Incensole and incensole acetate which are thought to reduce anxiety and induce heightened feelings of well-being and spirituality.
Harvested in the Northern Tigray province of Ethiopia, B. Papyrifera is also called “Tigray Frankincense. It is the favoured Frankincense by many churches and a staple of the Ethiopian community, burned daily by millions of people during coffee ceremonies and after meals.
Using only food-grade alcohol, fresh Frankincense Papyrifera oleoresin is powdered and immersed in 95% ethanol. It is allowed to macerate at a controlled temperature and stirred daily for a minimum of 8 weeks before it is filtered to separate the odourless water-soluble gum compounds.
The filtered liquid is evaporated gently at room temperature to remove excess alcohol creating a thick aromatic liquid that dissolves readily in alcohol and carrier oils.
It has the bitter-edged, sweet, woody Frankincense fragrance with hints of lemon that distinguish Frankincense Papyrifera.
It acts as a fixative and heart-note in perfume compositions anchoring more fleeting and volatile scents and is useful in incense making as a binder and an aromatic ingredient since it burns clean and sweet, (Unlike the whole tears of Frankincense), with no charring, due to the absence of water-soluble gum.
It blends easily with room temperature alcohol and to my surprise, it blends easily with carrier oils such as Fractionated Coconut oil and Jojoba making it ideal as an ingredient in oil-based and solid perfumes, cremes, salves, lotions and soaps.

I asked to purchase this form of frankincense since it is a concentrated version of the components of the resin which contains the boswellic acids which have anti -inflammatory activities. I developed some kidney damage during open heart surgery and can't take NSIDS. Also I have been being treated with a blood thinner which also prevents me from taking other drugs that would be used to treat arthritis. After searching on public and medical data bases, I decided that the absolute would be safe for me to take orally & it has helped my arthritis.
I have used 1/2 to 1 milliliter about 3 times per day. You need a pipette or dropper from a dropper with gradations to measure the amount you are using. Since it is fat soluble, I put it in the bottom of a thermal cup and add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil and then add a cup of coffee.

I haven't tried this yet on a hot coal, but a little dab on the wrist with just a touch of fractionated coconut oil mixed over it will produce a hydrating and pleasing personal perfume that lasts for hours! The papyrifera scent totally brings me back to Sunday mornings at church as a young boy. Makes me get all contemplative, haha. Can't wait to see what other absolutes Dan has in store for us!
