What is the consistency like?
Reviewers describe it as honey-like, maple syrup consistency, and pourable. One customer noted it is actually less viscous than expected, making it easy to work with despite its thick appearance.

Using only pure alcohol, fresh Frankincense Dalzielii 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.

Due to its solubility in carrier oils, it makes an ideal ingredient in oil-based and solid perfumes while delivering therapeutic Boswellic acids to medicated oils, salves and cremes.
