About this product
Hold a piece of raw frankincense to your nose, then open this bottle. CO2 extracts tend to come closer to the aroma of the raw botanical than distilled oils do, and this Indian frankincense is a lovely aromatic specimen.
It is a CO2 Select extract of wildcrafted Boswellia serrata from India, extracted in Germany. Some 80 to 85% of it is monoterpenes, among them alpha-thujene, alpha-pinene, sabinene, myrcene, p-cymene and limonene, with sesquiterpenes, terpene alcohols and esters, including incensol acetate. A note for the curious: the resin itself contains boswellic acid, but the CO2 extract holds less than 1%.
