Sultans Grade Hydrosol

The 5-ounce/150 Millilitre size features a stylish Aluminum bottle with a cap and a spray top.

The 1-litre size is shipped in a sturdy Aluminum canister.

After an essential oil distillation is performed, the essential oil is collected from the distillate and we are left with a richly fragrant distilled "water" which can be used as a refreshing body spray, a base for cremes, lotions, and many other aromatic/therapeutic products. This is a Hydrosol or a Hydrolat.

Please note: There may be droplets of essential oil in the hydrosol. Make sure to keep it away from eyes and mucous membranes.
For many applications, this product can be diluted 1/2 and 1/2 with distilled water while retaining its aromatic qualities.

Rarely available to the public, the Sultan's Grade, or The Sultanate's special Reserve, as it is sometimes called, is the cream of the Green Hojari Frankincense crop.

It is collected immediately after harvest and kept out of circulation by the Sultanate of Oman. It is the purest, greenest, freshest and visually most beautiful resin of all the types of Frankincense harvested in Oman.

The Sultan's grade Royal Green Hojari is the only grade of Hojari resin on the market that tops the Royal Green Hojari in quality and colour and it rarely available to the public except once or twice a year when the Sultanate releases small amounts by special license after an extensive screening process. Even then, it is only dispensed in very small quantities. (20-50 Kilograms at a time). Many are those who apply for the privilege of purchasing this grade and few get the opportunity.

Botanically, Boswellia Sacra from the Arabian peninsula and Boswellia Carterii from East Africa are considered the same species. However, visually, aromatically and chemically they set themselves apart from each other. For this reason, I distinguish this resin from Oman as Boswellia Sacra.

I add a small amount of food-grade alcohol to my Hydrosols to ensure that they will keep for years without refrigeration.
