Frankincense is the hardened aromatic resin from within the Boswellia tree. When frankincense is harvested, the bark of the tree is sliced and the resin drips out and hardens. These hardened crystals are called “frankincense tears”.

This fragrance – described as deep, sweet, spicy and woodsy – is frequently used in natural personal care products and sold as an essential oil. But you may not be familiar with the health benefits associated with this warm aroma.
