Buy Olibanum Absolute

Olibanum Absolute, a precious resin revered for centuries for its spiritual and therapeutic properties. Derived from the Boswellia tree family, primarily Boswellia sacra, Boswellia carterii, and Boswellia serrata, our Olibanum Absolute captures the very essence of this sacred substance.

Unlike the more common Frankincense essential oil, Olibanum Absolute undergoes a solvent extraction process, resulting in a richer, more complex aroma and a higher concentration of certain key constituents. This extraction method preserves the full spectrum of the resin's aromatic molecules, including boswellic acids, incensole, and various terpenes, contributing to its potent therapeutic profile.
