Olibanum essential oil, born from the heart of the Boswellia sacra plant, comes from the lands of the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. Extracting this essence is a subtle art, rooted in ancestral traditions.

Resin harvesting

Bark incision :

With precision, the artisan harvesters, like sculptors of life, make fine incisions in the bark of the Boswellia sacra tree, allowing the resin to emerge. The first incision, often called the "first lacrimation", reveals the purest, tear-like resin.

Resin collection :

The resin flows and solidifies and is harvested regularly throughout the year, creating a harmonious rhythm with natural cycles.

Drying and preparation

Resin drying :

 The tears are carefully dried in the shade, preserving their precious volatile oils. Once dried, they are sorted and classified, each drop telling a story of purity and tradition.

Essential Oil Extraction

Steam Distillation Method :

Preparation of the still :

 The alembic, like an ancient chalice, is prepared with pure water. The resin is placed on top, ready to reveal its secrets through the steam.

Heating :

 Steam rises through the resin, capturing its enchanting aromas in an ephemeral dance of warmth and fragrance.

Condensation: The vapor condenses into a precious liquid, separated into two layers: the essential oil of frankincense, floating delicately, and the hydrosol, its fragrant reflection.

Collection :

 The oil is carefully decanted into glass bottles, preserving its purity and therapeutic properties, while the hydrosol is reserved for other beneficial uses.

Complementary Modern Methods

Supercritical CO2 extraction :

This contemporary method uses pressurized carbon dioxide to extract the most delicate aromas, preserving the purity and integrity of the compounds.

Use and storage

Essential oil storage :

Kept in dark glass bottles, away from light and heat, the oil retains all its potency and benefits.

Applications 

Aromatherapy: Renowned for its relaxing and healing properties, Olibanum essential oil brings calm and healing.

Skin care: Integrated into formulations, it regenerates and soothes, offering a soft, pleasant touch.

Synergy :

Olibanum essential oil blends well with Myrrh essential oil and Lemon essential oil to create an invigorating synergy that stimulates the mind and boosts the immune system.
