## About
A candle, a cushion, a few minutes of silence before the day begins. Frankincense has traditionally been used for spiritual growth and meditation, and it is believed to have a centering effect on the emotions.This is a CO2 Select extract of wild Boswellia carterii (syn. Boswellia sacra) resin from Somalia, extracted in Germany. What sets it apart are the diterpenes of this genus: incensol, isocembrene, cembrene A and incensol acetate, a compound found in the raw resin but never in steam-distilled frankincense oil. Its aroma is delightfully sweet and sparkling. It softens any sharply scented oil blended with it and marries well with the woods and spices; orange and neroli are lovely partners.DetailsBotanical name: Boswellia carterii, syn.
