Frankincense Essential Oil (Boswellia Neglecta)

Boswellia Neglecta is one of the rarest and most sustainably sourced frankincense oils in the world. With a warm, resinous depth and a softly earthy sweetness, this exceptional oil carries the quiet power of ancient forests and centuries of ceremonial use. Sourced from wild-harvested trees in Kenya, it brings something genuinely rare to your practice.

Why It Works

What sets Boswellia Neglecta apart is its sustainability profile. Unlike most frankincense species, the resin flows naturally from the tree without tapping, making it one of the most ecologically sound choices available. It is rich in boswellic compounds and prized in aromatherapy for its grounding, centering, and skin-supportive properties.

How to Experience It

Diffuser: Add 4 to 6 drops to your diffuser for a warm, meditative atmosphere.
Topical use: Dilute 1 to 2 drops per 1 oz of carrier oil before applying to skin. Ideal for facial blends, massage, and body care.
Personal inhaler: Add a few drops to an inhaler wick for grounding on the go.
Bath: Blend with a carrier or unscented bath gel before adding to water.

What You'll Feel

Grounded. Centered. Quietly present. Frankincense has long been used to slow the breath, calm a busy mind, and create a sense of sacred stillness. Boswellia Neglecta brings all of that with an added layer of earthy warmth that feels both ancient and deeply comforting.
