• Sustainably wild-harvested, naturally exuded resin
• Deep, earthy, smoky-resin aroma
• Powerful skin-supportive, grounding & cleansing properties

Frankincense Neglecta Essential Oil is steam-distilled from the naturally occurring dark resin of the Boswellia neglecta tree — a species long overlooked in the frankincense family, yet prized for its uniquely rich and earthy scent profile. Unlike most frankincense resins, B. neglecta exudes resin without tapping, thanks to a natural symbiosis with beetles. This makes it one of the most sustainable frankincense oils available, offering purity, potency, and ethical harvesting while preserving the health of wild trees.
