Frankincense Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

Frankincense (Boswellia serrata), the Indian frankincense or salai, is a deciduous tree of the torchwood family, Burseraceae, native to the dry hills of central and northern India. It grows 10-15 m with papery, peeling bark and pinnate leaves clustered at the branch tips. Cuts in the bark weep a milky sap that hardens into pale yellow to amber tears with a warm, balsamic, lemony scent, long traded as incense. We extract the dried resin.
