Smooth, balanced, and quietly grounding, Frankincense Carterii offers a more approachable expression of this ancient resin. It holds the essence of frankincense in a form that feels versatile, steady, and easy to integrate into daily ritual.

Its aroma is soft, resinous, and slightly citrusy, with a gentle warmth that settles rather than expands. It brings calm clarity without intensity, making it ideal for everyday use.

Distilled from Boswellia carterii, this variety is one of the most widely used frankincense oils, valued for its adaptability across both aromatic and topical applications.

Compared to other types, Carterii sits at the center of the spectrum—less expansive than Sacra and less dense than Serrata, offering a balanced profile that works across multiple uses.

In ritual, Carterii supports consistency—ideal for daily grounding, skincare routines, and maintaining a steady sense of calm and clarity.

A foundational frankincense—balanced, versatile, and quietly stabilizing.

How to Use

Diffusion Guidance: Most oils and blends can be diffused using 5–10 drops. For highly aromatic oils such as Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Rosemary, Clove, Cinnamon, and other intensely concentrated botanicals, begin with 3–6 drops and adjust to preference or dilute for topical use. Drop flow may vary naturally depending on the oil or blend.
