Frankincense is an aromatic resin that has been valued for centuries for its therapeutic properties. The resin is typically obtained by slashing the Boswellia tree with deep incisions and then immediately collecting its sap. However, Frankincense Neglecta is a unique type of frankincense that is collected through natural means. The Boswellia neglecta tree is allowed to naturally ooze its resin, which gives it time to deepen its color and enrich its scent. Frankincense Neglecta has a rich, deep color that is freshened with sweet incense notes over a pronounced balsamic and piney base. Its fragrance is similar to Frankincense Frereana but has heavier base notes and sweeter top notes.
Our Frankincense Neglecta is cultivated in Kenya, although the tree is also grown in Ethiopia, Somalia, Tanzania, and Uganda. Frankincense Neglecta essential oil is quite calming and grounding. It has been shown to relax the mind, promote self-confidence, and help regain focus. It is commonly used in aromatherapy to aid in the healing of wounds and abrasions. Additionally, some sources indicate that it is also beneficial for bronchial conditions, including asthma.
Frankincense Neglecta is an excellent choice for those with dry and mature skin types due to its superb anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties. It also acts as a natural astringent to tighten and tone the epidermis. Incorporating Frankincense Neglecta into your skincare routine can help you achieve a more youthful, vibrant complexion.
