Pure Steam Distilled Highland Frankincense Essential Oils
Our Highland Frankincense Essential Oils are steam distilled in our distillation facility in Dubai from authentic Highland Boswellia carterii Frankincense and Highland Boswellia frereana Frankincense oleogum-resins. Our resins are superior to the lower quality, mutated-grade common to the lowlands in that they contain minimal-to-no traces of decyl methyl ether and octyl acetate components. We are the only Frankincense oil producer to sample-distill and sample-test the quality of bulk oleogum-resins at source within Somalia prior to sorting and grading. This enables us to isolate the highest quality resins for our oil production.
The advantages of Steam Distillation include:
-
Amount of steam can be readliy controlled
-
No thermal decomposition of oil constituents
-
Most widely accepted process for large-scale oil production, superior to the other processes
