Botanical Name: Boswellia carterii
Origin: Somaliland
Boswellia carterii resin tears, commonly known as frankincense, are wild-harvested in Somaliland using Fair Trade practices that help support ethical sourcing, responsible collection methods, and the local harvesting communities who gather this treasured resin. Sourced from a certified organic distiller, these aromatic tears provide a pure, high-quality botanical material prized for traditional incense, aromatherapy blends, meditation rituals, ceremonial use, and natural perfumery. When warmed over charcoal or incorporated into aromatic formulations, Frankincense carterii releases a sweet, citrusy, lightly woody, and resinous aroma with a soft ethereal quality. Its warm, balsamic character makes it a valued ingredient for spiritual practices, grounding fragrance blends, and wellness-focused creations that call for a classic frankincense profile.
Please note that our resins are packaged by weight, not by container size. Each batch naturally includes resin pieces in varying shapes and sizes, typically ranging from pea-sized pieces to thumbnail-sized tears. Because we do not sort the resin by size, each package contains a natural mix of pieces. Due to the irregular shapes and density of resin tears, the weight purchased may not completely fill the packaging container.
